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.
