With the increasing demand for energy such as oil and natural gas, the selection of pipeline materials has become particularly important. Vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS), as an efficient organic silane coupling agent, plays an important role in the cross-linking of polyethylene to manufacture heat-resistant pipes, hoses and films.
1. Aromatic and oil resistance
In the process of oil and natural gas transportation, pipeline materials need to have excellent aromatic and oil resistance. Polyethylene cross-linked with vinyl trimethoxysilane can effectively resist the erosion of various chemicals and ensure the long-term stable operation of the pipeline.
2. High mechanical strength
Polyethylene cross-linked with vinyl trimethoxysilane has high mechanical strength and can withstand greater pressure and impact, and is suitable for long-distance transportation pipelines.
3. Good heat resistance
In high temperature environments, ordinary polyethylene is easy to soften, while polyethylene cross-linked with vinyl trimethoxysilane shows good heat resistance and can be used for 50 years at 80°C, suitable for various high temperature environments.
4. Wide application
Vinyl trimethoxysilane cross-linked polyethylene is not only suitable for oil and gas pipelines, but also for water pipes and hot water pipes in residential buildings, and has a wide range of application prospects.
5. Environmental performance
Vinyl trimethoxysilane cross-linked polyethylene does not produce harmful substances during production and use, meets environmental protection requirements, and is a green and environmentally friendly material.
In short, the application of vinyl trimethoxysilane in pipeline materials not only improves the performance of pipelines, but also extends their service life, which has important economic and social benefits.
