It is used to transfer a variety of chemicals and acids. While it can transfer 98% of the chemicals. Besides, it can transfer many petroleum products and oils.
Ultra high molecular weight PE is the PE with over 1 million molecular. While it is a new thermoplastic material with great properties. It almost integrates all the advantages of plastics. Compared with other plastics, it has unique abrasion, corrosion and impact resistance. Besides, it is nontoxic and will never stick. Thus it is the first choice to transfer solid material, gas and slurry.
The roughness factor of such chemical hose is just 1/2 of steel hose. Thus the flow of UHMWPE chemical hose is larger than steel pipe with the same size. Besides, it can save 25% energy with a same flow.
The abrasion resistance is 4-7 times of steel pipe. While it is about 27 times of stainless steel.
UHMWPE has extremely high chemical stability. Thus it can bear the corrosion from acid, alkali and solvents. So it can also used for water supply under marine and acid water transfer.
UHMWPE has been proved that it is environmental protecting material. Besides, it is nontoxic to human.
UHMWPE chemical hose can work at -40°C for long term. Besides, it remains flexible in cold weather. However, over high temp will change the chemical ability. In fact, the higher the temp is, the larger the corrosion will be.
