According to USA Phillips Petroleum company’s division method the molecular weight polyethylene in more than 1.5 million known as the "ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)". Shandong Buoy&Pipe company UHMWPE pipeline Molecular weight is greater than 2.5 million,up to 9 million.

HDPE usually refers to the general-purpose plastics--linear polyethylene with a viscosity average molecular weight 20,000 to 300,000,only 1/10 of UHMWPE,   UHMWPE extremely high molecular weight give it superior performance, and UHMWPE belongs to the moderate price, good performance of thermoplastic engineering plastic, It's almost concentrated the advantages of all kinds of plastic,With ordinary polyethylene and other engineering plastics incomparable abrasion resistance, impact resistance, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, absorb the impact energy, low temperature resistance, health, non-toxic, difficult to adhesion, small water absorption, small density and so on comprehensive performance. In fact,There is no a kind of high molecular material with so many outstanding performance. it can work under -110℃ to 70℃for a long time.
