PE 1000 HOT - polyethylene

UHMW-PE – Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene

PE 1000 HOT - polyethylene

A result of long-term development, PE 1000 HOT is designed for applications in which materials with better heat-resistance properties than those of standard PE 1000 are required. PE 1000 HOT is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (approx. 9.2 million g/mol). The material contains antioxidant additives to make it more resistant to thermal degradation. We deliver PE 1000 HOT as sheets.
