UHMW-PE – Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene
PS 1000®
PS 1000® is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (approx. 9.2 million g/mol) specifically designed for use in the paper and pulp industry. Because of the graphite and carbon black added to it, the material has excellent wear‑resistance and mechanical strength. We deliver PS 1000® as plastic sheets and rods.
