HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

High Density Polyethylene offers excellent sliding properties and abrasion/wear resistance due to its low coefficient of friction. HDPE Sheets are tough and impact resistant, even at low temperature, it is lightweight and easy to weld. It has an almost waxy feel to it and is pretty good at being a low friction wear strip material
and is used probably more than any other plastic as a wear strip on conveyors or production lines of huge companies. it is a FDA Approved material of the highest quality with excellent impact resistance. HDPE has high tensile strength, low moisture absorption and is chemical and corrosion resistant
