GEHR Plastics PE-HD Polyethylene HDPE
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE)

Material Notes: Polyethylene has a good chemical resistance against almost all acids and bases, detergents and hot water. PE has good insulation properties and is easy to weld. The operating temperature is from -50°C to 90°C.

Properties:

  • low density
  • high toughness
  • high elongation
  • very good electrical and dielectric properties
  • very low water absorption
  • low steam permeability
  • high chemical resistance
  • good protection against stress cracking
  • food safe
  • soft surface
  • HF welding not recommended
  • natural color is not weather resistance
Applications
  • Transport containers
  • pumps and valve parts
  • parts used in tank construction
  • components with medical applications
  • gaskets
  • sliding profiles
  • components for the food industry
