Mitsubishi Chemical Group offers high-molecular weight polyethylene (HMW-PE), an engineering plastic ideal for impact resistance, chemical resistance, low water absorption, and good electrical insulation. For applications where wear and impact are less critical, PE 500 (HMW-PE) provides a cost-effective alternative to TIVAR™ UHMW-PE grades. PE 500 is versatile, widely used in the food industry (cutting surfaces for meat and fish processing, PE 500 FG) and in mechanical, chemical, and electrical applications. Its balanced properties make it a reliable choice across many industrial uses.
PE 500 FG HMW-PE (Food Grade) is a versatile high molecular weight polyethylene grade that offers a unique combination of stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping capabilities, great machinability and moderate wear and abrasion resistance. In less demanding applications with respect to wear and impact resistance, PE 500 may present an economical alternative to standard TIVAR™UHMW-PΕ grades. Due to these benefits and characteristics in combination with a EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR § 177.1520 Food Contact compliancy, PE 500 FG HMW-PE components are primarily used in the meat and fish processing industry, but can also be found in a variety of mechanical, chemical and electrical applications.
