POLYETHYLENE HD

Chemical Name: Polyethylene

Common/Trade Names: Ralloy®, Tivar®, Polystone®, Daylon®, Jaylon®, Tufclad®, Pactene®

Abbreviation: PE, (LDPE, HDPE, UHMWPE)

Properties (Colour): Varies due to branding and PE grades available

Machining: Can be tricky as the swarf does not chip, so the long continuous strand of swarf needs to be extracted or it will wrap around the job or tooling.

Types: UHMWPE: Ultra High Molecular Weight. HMWPE: High Molecular Weight. HDPE: High Density. LDPE: Low Density PE also has re-processed grades

Chemical Resistance: Good chemical and acid resistance.
