Explore AvailabilityWhile both materials offer excellent wear resistance and low friction, metal-detectable PE 1000 is specifically engineered to be metal detectable. This makes it suitable for applications where detecting foreign objects is crucial, such as in the food processing and packaging industries.
Yes, PE 1000-MD 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.
Yes, metal-detectable PE 1000 can be used outdoors due to its resistance to UV degradation and weathering. However, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures should be avoided to maintain optimal performance.
PE 1000-MD can be used continuously up to approximately 80°C. Short-term exposure to slightly higher temperatures is possible, but prolonged exposure may reduce mechanical performance.
