LDPE Low Density Polyethylene

LDPE is easily cut, formed, vac-formed and fabricated. It has high impact strength, low coefficient of friction and is flexible with a soft surface. This makes LDPE very versatile and is used extensively in the food and drink industry, clothing/leisure and the packaging industry.

HDPE High Density Polyethylene (PE 300)

HDPE has excellent impact strength, even at temperatures as low as -30ºC. Coupled with low coefficient of friction and ease of fabrication, HDPE is widely used in automotive, leisure and industrial applications and is particularly suitable for the fabrication of tanks, silos, hoppers etc. HDPE can also be supplied to colour matched, talc-filed and conductive forms.

HMWPE High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE 500)

PE 500 is generally supplied in sheet form already planed to close tolerances and can perform at temperatures as low as -50ºC. It also boasts a higher wear resistance than PE 300 giving it a wider range of applications within all aspects of industry. PE 500 is widely used for its impact resistance in applications such as cutting boards, fenders, hand rails and protection strips where repeated impact is expected.

UHMWPE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE 1000)

Having the highest molecular weight of all Polyethylene, PE 1000 is the most wear resistant. Particularly suited to applications such as chain guides, star wheels, wear strips etc. It remains the typical impact resistance of Polyethylene and can operate as low as -270ºC.

By the addition of a proportion of regenrated PE 1000 we can offer a more cost effective form whilst still retaining much of its excellent wear and impact resistance. Particularly suited to linings and wear applications where a low-cost alternative is required.
