MATERIAL DATASHEET
PEHD1000 (PE-UHMW, UHMW-PE)
Virgin, unfilled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with very high impact strength, very low friction and excellent wear resistance.
Very low moisture absorption; excellent chemical resistance; good for liners, guides, wear parts and food-contact components (grade-dependent).
