PE 1000 AST - polyethylene

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

PE 1000 AST - polyethylene

PE 1000 AST is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (approx. 9.2 million g/mol). Additives are used in the material to give it its anti-static properties. We deliver PE 1000 AST as plastic sheets and rods.
