UHMW-PE – Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene
PE 1000 MDP - polyethylene
PE 1000 MDP is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (approx. 9 million g/mol) plastic that has undergone further processing. The carefully selected additives in the material make it detectable with metal detectors. We deliver PE 1000 MDP as sheets.
