POLYETHYLENE
Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Not normally used as a material for construction of plastic process equipment.
- Material is commonly used for molded tanks, food storage containers, and laboratory equipment.
- Natural LDPE material is commonly available as thin sheet material.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Normally used as a material for construction of integral components.
- Material is commonly used for food contact applications.
- Natural material is available up to 10" Rod, 6" Sheet, and Tube.
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW)
- Commonly used as plastic bearing and plastic wear pads, and machines easily.
- Material is commonly used for food contact applications, wear pads, and truck bed liners.
- Natural UHMW material is commonly available as Rod, Sheet, and Tube.
- Available as glass filled material for improved wear-resistance, and as a static dissipative material.
