PE (polyethylene, including HDPE and UHMW-PE) excels in wear resistance and self-lubrication with outstanding low-temperature performance.
PE (polyethylene) is one of the most widely used general-purpose plastics. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) offers better rigidity and chemical resistance; UHMW-PE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) wear resistance reaches 7 times that of carbon steel, with low friction coefficient and no water absorption.
PE is soft with a low melting point (HDPE approximately 130°C), requiring extremely sharp tools and effective heat dissipation during machining; otherwise material smearing, surface tearing and dimensional springback are likely.
PE is non-toxic, odorless, food-contact compliant, and performs excellently at low temperatures (as low as -100°C), widely used in food machinery, conveying equipment, tank linings and low-temperature parts. We specialize in batch production, 100 pcs MOQ, lead time 15-25 days.
Besides PE (Polyethylene), PE (Polyethylene) offers several other grades with different characteristics. Click to view details.
