PE-I

PE-I (Polyethylene-I)

PE-I, PE with improved impact resistance.

PE-I is FDA approved (Some colors may not be tested according to EC1935. Please contact our material expert for further information)

PE

Polyethylene is used in low temperature applications and where high impact resistance is required.

Chemical effects

Excellent: No attack, possibly slight absorption. No effect on mechanical properties.

Good: Slight attack by absorption. Some swelling and small reduction in mechanical properties likely.

Fair: Moderate attack of appreciable absorption. Material will have limited life.

Unsatisfactory: Material will decompose or dissolve in a short time.
