Polyethylene, abbreviated as PE, is a thermoplastic polymer available in black and natural colors. PE is a cost-effective material used in the production of, among other things, slide rails, glide strips, spacers, washers, electrical insulation, and much more.
Excessively high requirementsA chemical-resistant material
There are many different grades of polyethylene, depending on the material's intended use. Most PE plastics are highly impact-resistant, have low friction coefficients, and are electrically insulating.
Well-known grades and types of polyethylene include PE-LD, PE-HD, UHMW-PE, and PE 1000. They have different properties suited to their intended uses. The UHMW grade is characterized by very low friction, good abrasion resistance, and resistance to UV and ozone.
Our polyethylene products can be easily die-cut and waterjet-cut to produce flat washers, spacers, or slide rails, and can be turned to create more three-dimensional solutions. Plastics have generally earned a bad reputation for being environmentally unfriendly.
Our plastics are halogen-free, and all of our PE materials comply with REACH and RoHS requirements, making our PE materials environmentally friendly plastic alternatives.
