Product Details

HDPE:High Density Polyethylenes are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. They have excellent electrical insulation properties, practically no moisture absorption and maintain their properties even at low temperatures. HDPE is ideal for cutting boards in food processing areas.

UHMWPE:Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has the highest impact strength and best abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic today. Self lubricating, ideal for wear strips, chain guides, etc. Used widely in the food and packaging industries for guide rails rollers, scraper blades, star wheels, feed worms, chute linings, etc

HMWPE:High Molecular Weight Polyethylene provides a good compromise in price and properties for general engineering use. Used in many similar applications to UHMWPE, but where abrasion resistance is not critical.

Key Features:

Very low coefficient of friction
High abrasion resistance
High impact resistance
Good chemical resistance
Good electrical resistance
Light-weight
Weldable
Food safe

Applications:

Flow promoting liners
Conveyor parts
Direct contact with food stuffs
Mechanical bearing parts
Hopper and chute liners
