Explore AvailabilityWhile PE 1000-R offers similar wear resistance and low friction properties, it is more cost-effective due to its recycled content. However, it may have slightly lower mechanical properties compared to virgin PE 1000.
Yes, PE 1000-R 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 1000-R 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 1000-R can be used continuously up to approximately 80–90°C. Short-term exposure to slightly higher temperatures is possible, but prolonged exposure may reduce mechanical performance.
