UHMW-PE – Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene
PE 1000 OIL - polyethylene
PE 1000 OIL is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (approx. 9 million g/mol) plastic that has undergone further processing. The material contains lubricants of the highest purity grade, resulting in an extremely low coefficient of friction and sliding friction. The lubrication is of food grade. We deliver PE 1000 OIL as plastic sheets.
