Polyethylene

Polyethylene (PE) has exceptional toughness, resistance to wear, and a low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for components enduring continuous friction and sliding movements. Moreover, its outstanding chemical resistance extends its utility across many industries, from automotive to consumer goods. We offer a range of polyethylene formulations, each to meet specific performance criteria. Whether it’s the higher impact strength and wear resistance of UHMW PE or the lighter weight and improved machinability of HDPE, our selection guarantees optimal solutions for your needs.

 

The standard available materials, description, and basic properties are listed below. Standard material certifications are available for many of our listed materials. You can request specific material certifications when you submit your instant quote request.

 

If your project requires a plastic material or color not found on our standard material list, please contact us and request a quote.

 

Matweb.com is an excellent resource if you want additional material property information.

 

Machinability rating is based on data from Dotmar Engineering and our experience (20 is highest).
