AKU®-LEN PE UHMW-ELS SOLID RODS or BARS in PE UHMW with improved electrical conductivity

PE-ELS (electrically conductive) is a variant of PE-UHMW with improved electrical conductivity.

Due to its good chemical resistance, polyethylene is resistant to the attack of most acids, alkalis, many organic solvents, and hot water.
It is a good electrical insulator and easily weldable.
The continuous use temperature ranges from -50 °C to approx. +90 °C.

Our PE-UHMW solid rods are physiologically safe and approved for food use according to Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 and FDA.

  • Very good welding and processing properties
  • high elongation at break very suitable for container construction
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Low density
  • High toughness
  • Physiological safety

Round bars can also be supplied in a ground version from AØ 2-60 mm.

PE-HD (high density polyethylene), PE-UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) and PE-ELS (polyethylene electrostatically dissipative) solid rods:

  • Versatile,
  • durable and
  • Technically sophisticated plastic profiles

The PE-HD, PE-UHMW and PE-ELS solid rods represent high-quality plastic profiles made from different types of polyethylene, each with specific properties.

Features and applications of these solid bars:

PE-HD solid rods:

  • High density:
  • PE-HD is characterized by its high density, which results in excellent strength and rigidity.
  • Good chemical resistance:
  • They are resistant to many chemicals, acids and bases.
  • Wear resistance:
  • PE-HD solid rods show good resistance to wear and abrasion.
  • Food safe:
  • Suitable for applications in the food industry due to its food-safe properties.
  • Applications:
  • Frequently used in the chemical industry, in container construction, for wear parts and in food processing.

PE-UHMW solid rods:

  • Ultra-high molecular weight:
    PE-UHMW is characterized by an extremely high molecular mass, resulting in exceptional wear and impact resistance.
  • Self-lubricating:
    Due to its molecular structure, PE-UHMW is self-lubricating and exhibits low friction.
  • Good shock absorption:
    The solid rods offer high shock absorption and are ideal for applications with strong mechanical stresses.
  • Chemical resistance:
    PE-UHMW is resistant to many chemicals and aggressive substances.
  • Applications:
    Typical areas of use include conveyor systems, slide rails, transport systems, wear plates, and components in the food industry.

PE-ELS solid rods:

  • Electrostatic dissipation:
    PE-ELS solid rods are formulated to dissipate electrostatic charges, allowing their use in electronic and explosion-hazardous environments.
  • Good chemical resistance:
    Like PE-HD, PE-ELS solid rods also show good resistance to chemicals.
  • Food-safe:
    In some formulations, they are food-safe and can be used in the food industry.
  • Applications:
    Frequently used in electronic manufacturing, explosion-hazardous areas, laboratories, and other environments where electrostatic discharges must be avoided.

The PE-HD, PE-UHMW and PE-ELS solid rods offer a wide range of possible applications due to their different properties.

From high strength and wear resistance to electrostatic discharge capability, they can meet the requirements of various industries.
