What is Ultra-High Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Polyethylene is the most commonly used plastic in the world, but how do you know if it’s the right yarn for your application? Consider the attributes of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) – a very tough subset of polyethylene that has a strength to weight ratio 8-15 times gre...Read More -
Skiving Tubing / Pipe
Edge treatment of coil strip before it enters a tube and pipe mill, called skiving, is a rapidly advancing technology. Improving the coil edge before it is welded helps increase the quality of the seam join and helps prevent rejected tube or pipe. Edge treatment of coil strip before it enters a ...Read More
