PE 1000 ELS - polyethylene

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

PE 1000 ELS - polyethylene

PE 1000 ELS is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (approx. 9.2 million g/mol). The surface resistance of this electrically conductive plastic is less than 103 due to its high carbon content resistance. Other properties of PE 1000 ELS are high wear resistance, good sliding properties, and excellent impact resistance. We deliver PE 1000 ELS polyethylene as plastic sheets and rods.
