HMPE stands for High Molecular Poly Ethylene, where the molecular density of the plastic often determines its properties. At BLW Kunststoffen, we specialize in machining various types of HMPE, such as HMPE500 and HMPE1000. We are happy to advise you on which HMPE best suits your application.
HMPE is a plastic used primarily in the mechanical engineering and food industries. It is a moisture-resistant plastic with good wear, impact and notch resistance. In addition, this material is machinable thanks to our advanced machinery.
The number after HMPE in HMPE500 and HMPE1000 indicates the molecular density of the material. Due to the higher molecular density of HMPE1000, this material has a higher tensile strength than HMPE500. In addition, HMPE1000 is not a material for welding, making HMPE500 a better choice when welding is required. However, both variants, HMPE500 and HMPE1000, are of the same type of UHMWPE and therefore share similar mechanical properties.
Do you want to machine HMPE with precision for your projects? BLW Kunststoffen is ready to help.
