What methods are used to shape ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene processed parts.
10-07-2023
Due to the high viscosity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) in its molten state reaching up to 108Pa * s, its flowability is extremely poor, and its melt index is almost zero, making it difficult to process it using general mechanical processing methods. The processing technology of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) has rapidly developed. Through the transformation of ordinary processing equipment, UHMW-PE has evolved from initial compression sintering molding to extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, and other special methods of molding.
