PE 1000 R - polyethylene

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

PE 1000 R - polyethylene

PE 1000 R is a regenerated, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. It is made mainly from recycled polyethylene, which makes it more cost-efficient than UHMW-PE plastic. It is slightly less wear‑resistant than pure PE 1000 plastic. We deliver PE 1000 R polyethylene as plastic sheets.
