Polyethylene rod

plate

Polyethylene with a molecular weight of +/- 5-6,000,000 exhibits excellent impact resistance. Compared to polyethylene with lower molecular weights, this type is less rigid and more impact-resistant, making it better suited for applications subjected to repeated impacts. Applications: Mechanical: Its low coefficient of friction and non-hygroscopic nature make it ideal for bearings or other mechanical components with low loads, even when operating in water. Food: Physiologically inert, it is approved for food contact by various regulatory bodies. This property makes it widely used in the construction of food machinery, pumps for food liquids, etc. Chemical: Due to its high chemical resistance to acids and alkalis, it is used for components in the chemical industry. Electrical: Excellent dielectric properties and weather stability make it increasingly used in this sector. Data sheet Polyethylene exhibits the following properties: Good impact resistance, even at low temperatures. High chemical resistance typical of polyolefin materials. High abrasion resistance. Low coefficient of friction. Low specific weight. Easy to process. However, its limitations include: Compared to engineering plastics, it has lower mechanical resistances: in tension, flexion, compression, etc., and thermal resistances. Compared to polyethylene with lower molecular weight, it is less rigid. MECHANICAL CHEMICAL ELECTRICAL FOOD
