Polyethylene PE500 & PE1000 Sheet

PE500 also known as HMWPE, High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, has a high impact strength supported by good abrasion and chemical resistance. Mainly used in repetitive applications wear food contact are concerns.

• High Impact Strength
• Temperature range -60°C to +80°C
• Low Moisture Absorption
• Food Safe
• Low Coefficient of Friction
• Noise reduction
• Available in colours
• Wear resistance

• Lower abrasion resistance than PE1000
• Difficult to Weld and Bond
• Limited UV resistance, without additive
• Susceptibility to stress cracking
• Lower Friction and impact resistance compared to PE1000

Cutting boards, food processing, chain parts, lining chutes, dairy, playground and much more.

PE1000 also known as UHMWP, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, has exceptional wear resistance, low friction and high impact strength at temperature as low as -150°C long term, possible -200°C short term. An ideal product for food processing, material handling, and industrial and mechanical. PE1000 is also available in different grades and colour.

Bottling, packaging, chutes, hoppers, wear strip, cryogenics, docks, transport and much more.

PE1000 R, is a regenerated, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. It is made mainly from recycled polyethylene, which is a more cost-effective material compared to PE1000. Often used in mechanical engineering.

• Excellent Impact Strength
• More cost effective vs Virgin PE1000
• Temperature range -100°C to +80°C
• Low Moisture Absorption
• Chemical Resistance
• Low Coefficient of Friction
• Environmental, utilizing recycled material.

• Lower overall properties.
• Mechanical properties compared to Virgin PE1000.
• Long-term durability and degradation.
• Food compliance may not be available.
• Speckled in appearance.

Food processing, material handling, Fenders, Crane support pads and much more.

PE1000 Regen incorporates a percentage of reprocessed or recycled material UHMWPE, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. The F stands for fine as unlike most Regen PE1000, the material is jet black, like normal virgin. AST stands for antistatic properties, which helps in high combustible applications.

• Excellent Impact Strength
