Description
Properties
HMPE stands for High Molecular Poly Ethylene, with molecular density playing a crucial role in determining the properties of this plastic material. HMPE is moisture resistant, satisfies) for direct food contact, does not adhere to other surfaces and has a low coefficient of friction.
Applications
This easy-to-process plastic is widely used in industries such as transportation and handling, the dairy and canning industry, and machine building for the food industry.

Density (Kg/m³) The specific weight per volume in kg / m³
|
|
Heat Deflection Temperature (°C) Heat Deflection Temperature indicates the temperature up to which a material remains rigid under load.
|
|
E-modulus (MPa) The modulus of elasticity or stiffness of the material. This indicates how much the material deforms under a given stress.
|
|
Moisture absorption(%) The degree to which a material absorbs moisture from the environment. A material that has absorbed moisture expands.
|
|
Tensile strength (MPa) The tensile strength is the maximum stress the material reaches just before it fails (permanently deformed). In practice, a material is used well below this limit.
|
|
Elongation to fracture (%) |
|
Impact strength (Charpy) Impact strength indicates how well the material can absorb shocks and blows. In the test, the material is held at two ends and struck in the middle with a special impact hammer.
|
|
Hardness (Shore °D) Hardness of the surface measured on a scale of Shore. For comparison, at shore D, a car tire is 15, a skateboard wheel is 50 and a construction helmet is 80.
|
|
Coefficient of friction The coefficient of friction indicates how much resistance a material provides to friction. Simply put; the lower this number the better the material glides.
|
|
Breakdown voltage (kV/mm) The breakdown voltage is important when the material is used as an insulator and indicates the voltage at which the material ceases to insulate and begins to conduct.
