PE1000 (UHMW-PE)

PE1000 (UHMW-PE)

PE1000 (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is an engineering plastic offering extremely high molecular weight, resulting in excellent wear resistance, very low friction coefficient, and high impact strength. It is especially preferred in applications exposed to intensive wear and high impact loads. PE1000 materials provide a smooth surface that ensures easy movement of bulk materials and minimizes adhesion. This makes it highly efficient in conveyor systems and material handling applications.

Material Properties

Despite its low density, PE1000 delivers high performance. It has excellent chemical resistance, is not affected by moisture, and maintains its stable structure under harsh operating conditions.
  • Extremely high wear resistance: Minimizes surface loss in long-term use
  • Very low friction coefficient: Ensures smooth and efficient movement
  • High impact resistance: Resistant to cracking and breakage
  • Non-stick surface: Reduces material buildup and adhesion
  • Chemical resistance: Resistant to acids, bases, and many chemicals
  • Non-water absorbing: Maintains dimensional stability under moisture exposure

Technical Performance

PE1000 performs exceptionally well in abrasive and friction-intensive environments. Its low friction reduces energy loss and improves system efficiency. Its high impact resistance minimizes the risk of breakage under sudden loads, ensuring long-term reliable operation.

Product Forms

PE1000 is available in rod and sheet forms and can be supplied in various dimensions depending on application requirements.

Standard

Complies with EN 15860 standard.
