Methods of UHMWPE processing at KP Works

• Hot pressing (compression sintering)

• RAM extrusion. Bars, pipes, rods are produced by the extrusion method. The solid-drawn pipes obtained are used as pulp guiding pipes in loading/unloading of coal, cement, concrete, mortars. As no algae, crustaceans stick to these pipes, they are highly resistant in seawater, and one can hope for their widely use by oil field and gas field workers in the development of Northern territories and coastal shelf.

• Sputtering (flame sputtering, electrostatic sputtering). The coating obtained is characterized by high impact strength and bending elasticity.

Advantages of using UHMWPE (ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene)

High impact resistance and notched impact resistance High tensile breaking strength and resistance to tensile failuresExcellent long-term characteristicsGood sliding characteristics, caking preventionVery low abrasivenessHigh strength even at low temperaturesCan be used even at very low temperaturesGood resistance to stress crackingNo water absorptionContact with food products is permittedVey good electric and dielectric propertiesGood processability

In 2009-2011, Zavod “KP” has collaborated with Krylov SRC under the order of Ministry of industry and trade of Russia within the framework of the Federal target-oriented program for Development of the defence and industry complex of the Russian Federation for 2007-2010 and during the period till 2015: “Establishment of an experimental section for the organization of production of plastic products for hydraulic piping systems, elements of air cleaning systems, de-icing systems and coatings and other products from plastics”.

Development of polymer coatings for the internal surface of freight wagonsfor the protection of goods from freezing down:

Testing of the UHMWPE-based polymer coating for reduction of goods freezing-down to the gondola wagon walls has been performed manually on 3 gondola wagons of different year of manufacture.

Properties of UHMWPE-based polymer coatings•Extremely high impact strength of a notched test piece•High operability at increased working speeds•Vey high sliding qualities•Very low wear; resistance to sticking•Insignificant friction losses•Very high resistance to the action of chemicals (acids, alkali, aggressive gases)•High resistance to cracking•Vey good noise suppression•Broad spectrum of applications due to temperature stability within the range from –200°C to +90°C
