Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene (PE) is a lightweight engineering plastic offering excellent impact resistance, chemical resistance and low moisture absorption.
At Specs Advanced Material Sdn. Bhd., we supply a comprehensive range of PE sheets and rods, including PE300 (HDPE), PE500 (HMWPE) and PE1000 (UHMWPE) for industrial, engineering and wear applications.
Our team can assist in selecting the most suitable PE grade based on your application, operating conditions and fabrication requirements.
Typical applications
• Wear strips
• Chain guides
• Conveyor components
• Chemical tanks
• Water treatment equipment
• Food processing equipment
• Machine guards
• Marine and outdoor structures
Polyethylene is available in different grades, each designed for specific engineering requirements.
PE300 (HDPE)
Suitable where good chemical resistance, easy fabrication and cost effectiveness are required.
Typical applications:
• Chemical tanks
• Tank lining
• Water treatment equipment
• General fabrication
PE500 (HMWPE)
Provides improved wear resistance and impact strength compared with HDPE.
Typical applications:
• Conveyor wear strips
• Machine components
• Food processing equipment
• Sliding parts
PE1000 (UHMWPE)
Offers outstanding abrasion resistance, extremely low friction and excellent impact resistance. Widely used in high-wear industrial applications.
Typical applications:
• Chain guides
• Wear pads
• Conveyor systems
• Bulk material handling
• Chutes
• Hopper liners
• Star wheels
• Bottling equipment
