PE MACHINING
PE (Polyethylene) is a semi-crystalline plastic material with low density
There are three grades of polyethylene depending on molecular weight:
- PE 300 (PE-HD) has the lowest molecular weight and low moisture absorption. As a material, PE 300 is easy to weld.
- PE 500 (PE-HMW): better resistance to abrasion and sliding properties compared to PE 300
- PE 1000 (PE-UHMW): better sliding properties and resistance to abrasion compared to PE 500; good electrical insulating, good toughness at low temperatures. PE 1000 can be filled to improve antistatic properties.
