The full name of UPE hose is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene hose. As a new material, UPE hose shows excellent performance in many fields. It has wear, chemical, high and low temp resistance with electrical insulation. Because of this, UPE hose is ideal for many industries. While the typical apps include petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, medicine, food, etc. Next let me show you its great property in detail.
Anti-wear property
UPE hose has excellent wear resistance and its wear coefficient is much lower than other types of plastic pipes. Thus it can convey granular materials.
Chemical resistance
UPE hose can also resist the erosion of almost all common chemicals such as acid, alkali and salt. So it is suitable for a variety of corrosive media.
High and low temperature resistance
UPE hoses also have excellent high temperature resistance and can be used in the temp range of -200℃ to 100℃ for a long time, and can even work at 120℃ in a short period of time. In low temp, UPE hoses perform equally well with excellent impact resistance. This feature makes UPE hose an ideal choice in severe cold areas.
Anti-aging property
UPE hose has excellent anti-aging property. Thus it has a long service life.
In practical usage, UPE hose plays an important role in many key areas
1. In the petrochemical industry, UHMWPE hose can transport crude oil, refined oil, chemical raw materials, etc. Its excellent wear and corrosion resistance greatly reduce wear and failure rate. Then this improves efficiency and prolongs service life.
2. In the metallurgy, UPE hoses can be used to transport slurry, metallurgical slag, etc. It effectively reduces wear and corrosion during transportation.
3. In the medical industry, UPE pipe often serves in conveyor lines. Because it can ensure product hygiene and safety.
