HDPE

Extensive trade name range of virgin, partially reprocessed, coloured and filled High Density Polyethylene stock shapes, manufactured by extrusion and compression moulding.

Reinforced High Density Polyethylene Main Characteristics

Good wear and abrasion resistance (particularly PE-UHMW) (

High impact strength, even at low temperatures (particularly PE-UHMW)

Excellent chemical resistance

Low coefficient of friction

Excellent release properties

Very low water absorption

Physiologically inert (most grades are suitable for food contact)

Moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance

Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except for CESTILITE)

Excellent machinability

Not self-extinguishing

Good resistance against high energy radiation

Not self-extinguishing
