Polyethylene is well known in the polymer family and is often referred to as PE. It has a extreme a low coefficient of friction, chemical resistance and corrosion, however it has excellent impact strength as well as the most adaptive thermoplastic. Polyethylene is available in various grades, offering different properties. They include: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) Key benefits: Good toughness and flexibility Good resistance to chemical cracking Low heat resistance Low coefficient of friction High impact strength Adaptive thermplastic Low moisture absorption Light Weight Industry users: Packaging applications Medical equipment Agricultural Textiles equipment Paper mills Typical applications: Rollers Tanks Wear strips Bearings Sprockets Chain guides
