PE Sheet Rod

HONY®Polyethylene (PE) plastic is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with high toughness and excellent chemical resistance. Compared with other plastics, polyethylene plastics have lower mechanical strength and high temperature resistance.High Density Polyethylene (hdpe) sheet is extremely strong against impact, abrasion resistant, and exhibits a low coefficient of friction. The material is also moisture, stain, and odor resistant, and is FDA approved for use in the food processing industry (mainly for cutting boards). The material's durability makes it a perfect match for a variety of applications such as water tanks, chute linings, bottle/bottle cap production and numerous other industrial uses. Borated HDPE offers radiation protection in nuclear facility applications.

High-density Poly Ethylene also is known as HDPE is made from a cord of ethylene molecules (the poly part of polyethylene), and is famous for its light weight and high durability.

The preference of HDPE sheets is increasing from leaps and bounds in the market today, as it's able to cut down on the material which is then used for producing and packaging products for its strength and weight.

It is also available at tap plastics in sheet form with either a smooth or textured surface. The textured surface is also called cutting board. Both smooth and textured surfaces are FDA approved for food contact.

HONY®PE series products include the following materials:

Polyethylene (PE) Polyethylenes are semi-crystalline materials with excellent chemical resistance, good fatigue and wear resistance and a wide range of properties. Polyethylenes are easy to distinguish from other plastics because they float in water. Polyethylenes provide good resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack. Polyethylene is used more than any other thermoplastic polymer. There are a wide variety of grades and formulations available that have an equally wide range of properties.

POLYETHYLENE GRADES Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) This extruded material offers good corrosion resistance and low moisture permeability. It can be used in applications where corrosion resistance is important, but stiffness, high temperature, and structural strength are not. A highly flexible product, LDPE is used widely in orthopaedic products, or where mobility without stress fatigue is desired. LDPE is also frequently used in consumer packaging, bags, bottles, and liners.

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) UHMWPE is light weight (1/8 the weight of steel), high tensile strength, and is easily machined. It is the ideal material for many wear parts in machinery and equipment as well as a superb lining in material handling systems and storage containers. UHMW PE is self-lubricating, shatter resistant, long-wearing, abrasion and corrosion resistant. It meets FDA and USDA acceptance for food and pharmaceutical equipment and is a good performer in applications up to 180 °F (82 °C) or when periodically cleaned with live steam or boiling water to sterilize.
