PLASTMASS™ PE 1000

PLASTMASS™ PE is available as an ultra-high molecular weight Polyethylene and as a high molecular weight Polyethylene which we recommend for lining, sliding parts and guides. Our Polyethylene is divided into the types PE 500 (HMWPE) and PE 1000, PE 9000 (UHMWPE). The various PLASTMASS™ PE plastics are also available with different modifications for unique technical properties. We produce our polyethylene as semi-finished and finished parts. This includes sheets, tubes and rods with a large selection of dimensions.

Our Polyethylene materials have been developed to withstand the highest loads over a long service life. The material has extremely high wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction and high impact strength.
