PE 500 HMW-PE FG
High Molecular Weight PolyethylenePE 500 FG HMW-PE (Food Grade) is a versatile high molecular weight polyethylene grade that offers a unique combination of stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping capabilities, great machinability and moderate wear and abrasion resistance. In less demanding applications with respect to wear and impact resistance, PE 500 may present an economical alternative to standard UHMW grades. Due to these benefits and characteristics in combination with a EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR § 177.1520 Food Contact compliancy, PE 500 FG HMW-PE components are primarily used in the meat and fish processing industry, but can also be found in a variety of mechanical, chemical and electrical applications.
