Polyethylene / HDPE / MDPE / UHMWPE

HDPE 300 natural and black

• Meets FDA/USDA food handling
guidelines (natural color)
• Chemical- and corrosion- resistant
• Light-weight
• No moisture absorption
• High tensile strength
• Non-toxic
• Non-staining
• Thermoforming performance

High density polyethylene 300 grade (HDPE) is used in a variety of applications and industries where excellent impact resistance, high tensile strength, low moisture absorption and chemical- and corrosion-resistance properties are required. It is available in extruded up to 30mm thick and pressed sheet up to 100mm thick.
 
MDPE 500 natural (white) / black [PE-HMW]
 
 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

* Good wear and abrasion resistance
* High impact strength, even at low temperatures
* Excellent chemical resistance
* Low coefficient of friction
* Excellent release properties
* Moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance
* Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (virgin grades only)
* Physiologically inert
* Good resistance to high energy radiation
* Not self-extinguishing

Molecular weight of about 500,000 g/mol.
This grade exhibits a good combination of stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping ability with wear and abrasion resistance and can easily be welded. CESTILENE HD 500 is a versatile polyethylene grade used mainly in the food industry (meat and fish processing) but it is also put to use in all kinds of mechanical, chemical and electrical applications.
 

UHMWPE 1000 grade natural and black

• Meets FDA and USDA guidelines;
3-A Dairy-approved (natural)
• Reduces noise
• Self-lubricating
• Chemical-, corrosion- and
wear-resistant
• No moisture absorption
• Non-toxic, low-friction surface
• Meets ASTM-D-4020-81 of 4.0 to 5.4-
million molecular weight

UHMWPE 1000 sets the standard for engineered polymers with a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low friction surface and impact strength.

UHMWPE 1000 is resistant to chemical attack and moisture absorption, and retains key physical properties to
–30Í C.

An excellent general-purpose material, UHMWPE 1000 (natural) is a cost-effective solution for food handling problems, and meets FDA, USDA and 3-A Dairy guidelines for food processing and handling.Elder can also also offer custom colours compounded with FDA/USDA approved pigments, which meet FDA and USDA guidelines for food processing and handling. Whether your business is grain, pharmaceuticals, pizza dough or frozen poultry, UHMWPE 1000 will reliably move your materials and products.
