Kunststof Forte BV UHMPE
UHMPE – an extremely wear-resistant, strong and versatile plastic
UHMPE is a plastic with an exceptionally high molecular weight, making the material extremely wear-resistant, impact-resistant and reliable in harsh conditions. UHMWPE is widely used in industry, mechanical engineering, the transport sector and the food industry due to its combination of high strength, low friction and excellent chemical resistance.
UHMWPE (also known as PE-1000 or HMPE) offers a long-lasting solution for components that need to withstand intensive use, such as slide plates, machine parts, wear strips, impact edges and conveyor guides. The material retains its shape very well, has high impact resistance and continues to function at extreme temperatures.
