Polyethylene Plastic

High density polyethylene is available in 3 grades depending on the
molecular weight: HDPE (PE300), HMWPE (PE500) & UHMWPE (PE1000). HDPE has
excellent impact strength even at temperatures as low as 30 degrees celsius
used in tank and container building. HMWPE exhibits a good combination on
stiffness, toughness, mechanical dampening ability with wear resistance and
can be easily welded. Used mainly in the food and leisure industry. UHMWPE
has excellent sliding properties, high wear resistance and outstanding
impact strength even at temperatures below -200 degree celsius.

Common Uses for Polyethylene Plastic

High Density Polyethylene can be used for many engineering purposes. The 3
grades of high density polyethylene HDPE (PE300), HMWPE (PE500) and UHMWPE
(PE1000) can be used for building tanks and containers due to its excellent
impact strength at low temperatures. HMWPE grade high density polyethylene
is used in the food and leisure industry due to its stiffness, toughness and
mechanical dampening ability.
