Question

How is UHMW polyethylene made?

Answer 1

Answer:

UHMWPE powders have been produced by Ruhrchemie (Ticona) using the Ziegler process. The main ingredients for producing UHMWPE are ethylene (a reactive gas), hydrogen, and titanium tetra chloride (the catalyst). The polymerization takes place in a solvent used for mass and heat transfer.
