PE is available in two primary molecular weight grades, each engineered for a distinct performance profile. PE 1000 (PE-UHMW) has an ultra-high molecular weight of 4,000,000 to 9,000,000, which gives it the highest wear and abrasion resistance in the polyethylene family. It is the standard choice for sliding and conveying elements, wear linings, carriers and screw conveyors in general mechanical engineering.
Both grades are available in virgin form and as regenerate. PE 1000 Regenerate is produced from ultra-high molecular polyethylene powder and finely ground PE 1000. PE 500 Regenerate is produced from finely ground PE 500 and PE 1000.
Special designs are available for specific requirements: PE 1000 AST for antistatic applications, PE 1000 MoS for improved tribological performance, and UV-stabilised grades for outdoor use in both PE 1000 and PE 500. PE is available in the widest colour range of any material in the Plastix Factory portfolio, particularly in PE 500, where colours include natural, black, yellow, reddish brown, red, blue, green and grey.
PE 1000 offers the highest wear resistance in the polyethylene family, suitable for sustained sliding and friction contact
Outstanding toughness and impact resistance, including at low temperatures
Suitable for sliding, conveying and material-handling applications without additional lubrication
PE 500 is particularly suited for cutting surfaces, food processing boards and shop-floor applications
Resistant to a wide range of acids, bases and industrial chemicals across both grades
Food-contact compliant grades available for direct use in food processing, packaging and cold store environments
High-Performance Engineering Plastics
PE 1000 and PE 500 both available in 2000x1000 mm and 3000x1250 mm formats. Thicknesses from 1 to 150 mm across standard and made-to-order dimensions. Wide colour range available in PE 500.
PE 1000 round bars from 10 to 200 mm diameter in 2000 mm lengths in natural, green and black. PE 500 round bars available on request.
Custom cut to your exact dimensions from standard sheet or bar stock across all grades.
CNC-machined parts to your technical drawings. Suitable for wear pads, conveyor components, slide rails and food-contact parts.
PE 1000 AST (antistatic), PE 1000 MoS (tribologically modified) and UV-stabilised grades for PE 1000 and PE 500 are available on request.
PE 1000 is the standard material for slide rails, wear strips, conveyor guides and sliding elements in mechanical engineering and conveyor technology. Its extreme abrasion resistance and low friction deliver long service life without lubrication.
Applied as wear linings for chutes, hoppers, silos and bulk material handling equipment where abrasion from continuous material flow would rapidly wear standard materials.
PE 1000 is used for screw conveyor flights, carrier components and material-handling parts in processing plants where wear resistance and low adhesion to transported materials are required.
PE 500 Natural is physiologically harmless and approved for direct food contact. Used for cutting boards, conveyor components, guides and processing surfaces in food, meat processing and packaging lines.
PE 500 is used for impact protection profiles, floor covering elements and structural panels in cold store construction and industrial shop-floor environments where cut resistance and impact toughness are required.
PE 1000 AST is used in environments where electrostatic discharge is a risk. UV-stabilised grades of PE 1000 and PE 500 are used for outdoor components and exposed installations where UV degradation must be prevented.
