Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyolefin pipe technology, and in particular to a biaxially oriented polyolefin pipe and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic pipes are widely used in agricultural irrigation, municipal construction, and water conservancy projects. With the rapid development of the plastics industry, metal and cement pipes are increasingly being replaced by plastic pipes in various fields. Compared to metal and cement pipes, plastic pipes have advantages such as lower density, corrosion resistance, good toughness, smooth inner walls, easy recycling of raw materials, lower production costs, longer service life, easier installation and connection, and convenient transportation. Therefore, the annual demand for plastic pipes has seen a significant increase. There are many types of plastic pipes, among which polyolefin pipes such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are the most widely used. Compared with other plastic pipes, polyolefin pipes are environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, have a long service life, and are easy to install. They are widely used in various sectors of the national economy and are the fastest-growing type of plastic pipe in recent years, second only to PVC pipes in terms of production volume. With the advancement of science and technology, more and more engineering applications are placing higher demands on the mechanical properties of plastic pipes.

[0003] The "brittleness" of polyolefin pipes essentially refers to their ability to fracture or rupture directly without significant plastic deformation under external forces (such as impact, tension, and bending). It is a core indicator for measuring the pipe's "fracture resistance" and "degree of toughness deficiency," directly determining its safety and durability in low-temperature and impact-exposed environments. Conversely, the "pressure-bearing capacity" of polyolefin pipes essentially refers to their ability to resist rupture, leakage, or excessive deformation under long-term or short-term internal and external pressure. It is a core mechanical property for assessing the pipe's ability to safely transport fluids (such as water, gas, and chemical media), directly determining its applicable pressure rating, operating temperature range, and design service life. Despite the numerous advantages of polyolefin pipes, current technologies generally suffer from insufficient pressure resistance, necessitating further improvements in resistance to external and internal pressure. For example, in applications requiring high-pressure fluid transport, ordinary polyolefin pipes may not meet the requirements. Furthermore, the molecular chain segment mobility of some polyolefin pipes decreases under low temperature conditions, causing them to change from a tough state to a brittle state. In addition, if the cooling process is not properly handled during the extrusion of polyolefin pipes, imperfect crystallization and stress concentration may occur, thereby increasing the brittleness of the pipes. Summary of the Invention
