PE500 (HMW HDPE)

PE500 (HMW HDPE)

PE500 (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is an engineering plastic distinguished by its high impact resistance, good wear resistance, and low friction coefficient. Compared to PE1000, it offers a more cost-effective solution while providing balanced performance in general industrial applications. PE500 materials facilitate material flow thanks to their smooth surface structure and help reduce friction-related wear. These properties make it widely used in both mechanical component manufacturing and surface applications.

Material Properties

PE500 has a high molecular structure that provides impact resistance, is not affected by moisture, and maintains stable performance in chemical environments.
  • High impact resistance: Resistant to cracking and fracture
  • Good wear resistance: Ensures long service life
  • Low friction coefficient: Provides smooth and easy movement
  • Chemical resistance: Resistant to acids, bases, and many chemicals
  • Non-water absorbing: Maintains dimensional stability under moisture exposure
  • Excellent machinability: Suitable for CNC machining and fabrication

Technical Performance

PE500 delivers stable performance in applications involving friction and impact. Its low friction reduces energy loss and improves system efficiency. Its impact resistance also reduces the risk of breakage under sudden loads, ensuring safe operation.

Product Forms

PE500 materials are available in rod and sheet forms and can be supplied in various dimensions.

Standard
