PE 7000 FRAS - polyethylene

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

PE 7000 FRAS - polyethylene

PE 7000 FRAS is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (about 7 million g/mol). This anti-static and flame‑retardant material is approved in line with fire safety standard EN 45545-2. In addition to being anti-static and flame-retardant, it offers good wear- and sliding‑related properties. We offer PE 7000 FRAS in a wide range of sizes.
