Frequently asked questions

Is PE-500 suitable for food contact?

PE-500 is widely used in the food industry. If your application requires a food-contact declaration of compliance (EU 10/2011), please state this in your enquiry and we will supply material with the appropriate declaration.

Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?

The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with dimensional tolerances and cutting allowance; we invoice on the actual weight as weighed.

What information should I send for a quote?

We only need the size (thickness × width × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
