PE500 - Polyethylene 500

Compare material
Other material names PE500: PE HD500, PE HMW
Material group: 
Polyethylene

In less demanding applications with respect to wear and impact resistance, PE 500 may present an economical alternative to the PE1000 standard grades. It is a versatile polyethylene grade used mainly in the food industry (meat and fish processing) but is also employed in all kinds of mechanical, chemical and electrical applications.
