What are the applications of UHMWPE rope?

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene rope is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, which consists of six strands, including two twisting directions of “ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber” S and “Z”, so that the rope will not rotate. This kind of cable is hollow braided. The cable has high strength and is widely used in maritime rescue, national defense ships, shipbuilding industry, marine survey, marine geophysical exploration, ship mooring and other fields.
Ultra-high molecular polyethylene rope is a kind of thermoplastic engineering plastic with linear structure and excellent comprehensive properties. Using paraffin as solvent, ultra-polymer polyethylene fiber was produced by gel extrusion and ultra-stretching. High strength and high modulus fiber yarns are produced by ultra-stretching, and ropes are produced by special twisting, compounding and weaving.
Ultra-high molecular polyethylene rope is a kind of rope with high strength in the industry at present. The successful development of this kind of rope has replaced the traditional wire rope. At present, the United States, Western Europe, Japan and many other countries are widely used in ship mooring and civil use, and their superior performance has been fully reflected.
Main properties of polymer polyethylene cable
1. Light weight, floating on the water, about 87.5% lighter than the wire rope with the same diameter;
2. The strength is high, which is about 1.5 times higher than that of steel wire rope with the same diameter;
3. Excellent durability, seawater resistance and chemical resistance. Due to repeated ultraviolet irradiation and temperature difference, the quality of use remains unchanged;
4. Convenient, fast, safe and fast operation.
Application of polymer polyethylene cable
1. Ultra-high molecular polyethylene rope is very common in foreign countries, and it needs to be further expanded and popularized in the domestic market at present.
2. In the industrial field, we can see that UHMWPE rope has obtained some important application cases in foreign industrial and mining fields. At present, the domestic market needs to be further expanded and popularized.
3. In the maritime field, almost all the applications of UHMWPE ropes abroad can be seen in China. In the domestic maritime field, we will find that the influence of foreign brands is still relatively large.
