Industrial plastics
PE-1000 (PE-UHMW), PE-500 (PE-HD) and PP (polypropylene) are industrial plastics used for wear strips, liners, conveyor parts, chemical tanks and food machinery parts. They have good resistance to most acids and alkalis, absorb virtually no moisture and machine easily. Supplied as sheet and rod, cut to size; minimum order 5 kg.
Materials and properties
Continuous service temperatures and densities are typical values; actual values depend on the grade and, for temperature, on the load and application.
