Overview
Regenerated UHMWPE is an economical version of PE1000 that retains most of the essential properties of virgin UHMWPE, offering solid mechanical performance for applications where food contact approval is not required. Made from recycled materials, it maintains high impact strength, good sliding properties and excellent abrasion resistance, making it a popular choice for cost-sensitive industrial applications such as bulk material handling and mechanical wear components.
