Polietilen ( HDPE )
GENERAL FEATURES:
It is a material with high chemical resistance. It has low density. It is a slippery material with a low coefficient of friction. Its water or moisture absorption is close to zero. The cutting plate can be used especially in industrial kitchens and as a butcher cutting block. This material also has the ability to be welded. It is a softer and less rigid material compared to polyporylene and PVC. Molecular weight is what characterizes polyethylene. It can be divided into three groups as low molecular weight, high molecular weight and ultra high molecular weight. (PE 300, PE 500, PE 1000 ). Especially PE 1000 has very superior abrasion resistance. Provides excellent resistance to friction with metals.
USAGE AREA:
MACHINE INDUSTRY
Polyethylene is used in the production of friction plates, slides, slide feet, guide plates, bearings, sliding flexes, gaskets, gear wheels.
COAL AND MINING INDUSTRY
Polyethylene is used for lining of bunkers, silos and tanks (in order to prevent abrasion and bonding), in the production of wear plates, in the manufacture of bearings and bushings, in air filters to hold coal dust.
PAPER INDUSTRY
Polyethylene is used for vacuum casing cover, hydrofoil casing etc. due to its water absorption, high chemical resistance, abrasion and impact resistance, low friction coefficient. used as.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Polyethylene, vacuum case cover hydrofoil case etc. due to its low friction coefficient. used as.
FOOD AND PACKAGING INDUSTRY
Polyethylene is used as a cutting table in meat, fish and cheese industries because it does not produce bacteria and is easily cleaned.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Polyethylene is used in the production of many parts exposed to wear and corrosion, in the production of pumps, valves, diaphragm filter covers, bellows, cylinders, and also in the production of equipment where chemicals are stored.
ELECTRIC INDUSTRY
Polyethylene is used in the production of high frequency range insulator elements due to its low dielectric mold factor.
