PE 1000

PE 1000 is characterized by chemical resistance, high impact strength, long durability and a minimum water absorption. Furthermore, it is physiologically neutral, resistant to temperatures and wear. It is also distinguished by its good electrical isolation properties.

APPLICATION FIELDS: drain pipes, construction of machines and installations, sealing, bands of sealing materials, sliding rails, guiding sleeves (centring), profiles, as well as in the bottling, packing, mining and paper industry.
