POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) ROD

Polyethylene (HDPE) sheet is one of the most classical materials used for tank and equipment construction in the chemical industry, thanks to its very good machinability and chemical resistance properties. It has high abrasion resistance and durability resistance with its low coefficient of friction. In addition, the material is moisture, stain and odor resistant and It is approved for use in the food processing industries (mainly cutting boards).

It can be used safely in watery environments due to the lack of moisture absorption. PE materials have good chemical resistance and hardness in the temperature range of – 40 °C and + 80 °C. PE black materials show UV resistance due to carbon black additive and are suitable for outdoor use for a long time.

Features :

Its specific gravity and coefficient of friction are low.
Its chemical and electrical resistance is good.
It does not absorb water.
It can be welded.
It is economical.
Hot forming can be done.
Wear resistance is low.
It does not produce bacteria.
Usage areas :

In the construction of tanks and equipment in the chemical industry,
In the construction of pumps, valves, diaphragms, bellows and cylinders in waste water plants,
As a meat cutting table in the food industry,
As cutting tables and pressing tables in the leather sector and textile,
Prosthesis, artificial feet, arms and supporters etc. in the orthopedic sector due to its hygienic nature. aspect,
In the electroplating and electroplating industry, in the manufacture of tanks where chemical substances are stored, and in coatings in waste water facilities and waste water facilities,
It is used in boat building.
