PE-1000 (PE-UHMW) Rod

PE-1000 (PE-UHMW, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) has very high wear and impact resistance and a low coefficient of friction; it is the standard material for conveyor and wear strip applications.

Material and sizes

PE-UHMW · PE-1000

PE-1000

White, green and black. An ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene whose resistance to abrasive wear and impact is among the highest of all plastics, with good sliding properties. It absorbs no moisture, has little tendency to stick and keeps its impact strength at temperatures as low as −200 °C. Its continuous service temperature is limited to about 80 °C, and it is difficult to bond.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between PE-1000 and PE-500?

PE-1000 has a much higher molecular weight, and its wear and impact resistance is markedly higher. PE-1000 is preferred for wear strips, liners and other wear applications; PE-500 is preferred for chopping boards and food applications.

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 (diameter × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
