Regarding the ultra-high performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets, everyone should know very well. It has been widely used in various industries, and its ultra-high performance has been widely recognized by users, but about ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets. How about water absorption, let’s take a closer look:
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets have an absorption index of almost zero, so they do not change in size when applied in water. In addition, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene has no pores and no organic plastic additives, which effectively prevent the growth of bacteria. Light weight, easy processing, coloring, noise reduction: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is only 0.94, which is lighter than water and only one-seventh of steel.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet is a linear structure of thermoplastic engineering plastics. Its production method and molecular structure are basically similar to high-density polyethylene. Low-pressure polymerization, slurry and gas phase synthesis can be used. It is determined by changing the ratio of catalyst components, adding modifiers, and adjusting process parameters.
