POLYMER BLEND 05

Polymer Blend 05 is a proprietary blend of 50% UHMW (5 million molecular weight) and 50% autocrosslinkable, low melt flow (very high molecular weight) high-density polyethylene.

Injection molding UHMW is too difficult and few people try. PPL developed PB-05 in response to the challenge. PB-05 combines the properties of UHMW with the economies of injection molding.

Polymer Blend 05 is a low cost, moldable alternative for applications requiring the abrasion resistance associated with UHMW.  CONTACT US for UHMW

Polymer Blend 05 is used in applications such as conveyors, and seals where heavy contamination is present.   PB-05 is extremely chemically resistant, slippery, abrasion resistant, and has excellent low temperature characteristics.
