Explore AvailabilityCompared to PE 300, PE 500 offers higher wear resistance and impact strength due to its higher molecular weight. However, it may be less abrasion-resistant than Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). PE 500 serves as a cost-effective alternative to UHMWPE in less demanding applications.
Yes, PE 500 is suitable for outdoor applications due to its resistance to UV degradation and weathering. However, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures should be avoided to maintain optimal performance.
Yes, PE 500 can be welded using standard polyethylene welding techniques. It can also be cut, drilled, and machined using conventional tools. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for welding and fabrication.
PE 500 has excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, and many organic solvents. Strong oxidising agents and some halogenated solvents should be avoided. Always check compatibility for specific applications.
