Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene PE is a thermoplastic that encompasses several qualities and can be obtained in different forms of molding. High molecular weight and low density (low specific weight). It can be considered non-hygroscopic, it is the thermoplastic that absorbs less moisture.

Together with PTFE it has excellent thermal and electrical insulation characteristics, as well as low coefficient of dynamic friction.

We sell polyethylene 300/500 and 1000.

Main features:

• PE1000 excellent wear resistance
