Abstract: 

A comparative analysis of the abrasive wear resistance of primary ultra-high-weight-molecular polyethylene of two different brands, OKULEN® OK 2000 (made in Germany) and ASYAPLAST®1000 (made in Turkey) is carried out in the article. It is shown that ultra-high-weight-molecular polyethylene of German production surpasses ASYAPLAST®1000 by almost 26 % in terms of wear resistance. A study of secondary ultra-high-weight-molecular polyethylene produced in Turkey was conducted and it was shown that its wear intensity is almost the same as the primary one, while the cost is 40 % lower. Developed basalt plastics based on ASYAPLAST®1000 ASYAPLAST®1000 secondary ultra-high-weight-molecular polyethylene were studied, and it was established that basalt plastic (40 mass% of fiber content) exceeds the original material by approximately 32 %, and is inferior to the primary OKULEN® OK 2000 by only 5 %.

Keywords:
