PE Plastic (KOTERM)

PE Plastic (KOTERM) – a reliable solution for industry, engineering, and processing

PE Plastic (KOTERM) is one of the most widely used materials in modern industry, known for its versatility, resistance, and durability. At M&M Intercom, we offer a wide selection of PE plastics from renowned manufacturers such as Centroplast, MCAM, and Profilan, ensuring high quality, dimensional precision, and uniform material structure. Available in both sheet and rod form, in various colors, thicknesses, densities, and dimensions, PE Plastic (KOTERM) is suitable for numerous industrial applications.

PE Plastic (KOTERM) belongs to the group of thermoplastics characterized by exceptional chemical stability and excellent sliding properties. It is resistant to moisture, impact, wear, and various chemicals, making it ideal for producing machine parts, linings, sliding surfaces, tanks, conveyor systems, and other technical components.

Properties and advantages of PE Plastic (KOTERM)

PE Plastic (KOTERM) combines mechanical strength, low weight, and high wear resistance. With a density between 0.93 and 1.07 g/cm³, it is lightweight yet stable, even at low temperatures – some types can withstand temperatures as low as –200 °C, while the maximum operating temperature reaches up to 80 °C.

 

Key advantages:

• exceptional resistance to impact and wear,
• low friction and outstanding sliding properties,
• chemical inertness – does not absorb moisture and resists most acids and bases,
• good electrical insulation,
• easy mechanical processing (milling, turning, drilling, cutting),
• odorless and non-toxic – suitable for use in the food industry.

Thanks to these properties, PE Plastic (KOTERM) is ideal for environments with high demands for durability, cleanliness, and chemical resistance.

Types of PE Plastic available at M&M Intercom

Our range includes several types of PE materials designed for specific applications and requirements:

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) – high-density PE plastic, extremely rigid and impact-resistant. Used for mechanical parts, pipes, containers, and bases.
HMWPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) – with high molecular weight, suitable for use in conveying and sliding systems.
HMWPE RCM – a special variant with enhanced chemical resistance and durability.
UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) – offers exceptional wear and impact resistance, ideal for conveyor guides, bushings, sliding strips, and protective linings.
UHMWPE CleanStat™ – antistatic version that prevents electrostatic buildup.
UHMWPE VMX – high-performance material for extreme conditions, providing dimensional stability, low friction, and long service life.

All standard materials are available in natural, black, blue, and green colors. On request, we can also supply red, yellow, gray, apricot, brown, multicolor, or custom shades for production line identification.

Dimensions and formats

PE Plastic (KOTERM) is available in sheet and rod form in various lengths and diameters.
Standard sheet thicknesses range from 1 mm to 120 mm, widths up to 1500 mm, and lengths from 1000 mm to 3050 mm. By agreement, thicknesses up to 6100 mm can also be supplied.
Rods are available with diameters from 10 mm to 350 mm, enabling the production of components from small spacers to large industrial parts.
We offer custom cutting, CNC machining, and shape adjustment according to technical requirements, ensuring optimal material use and precision.

Temperature range and mechanical properties

PE Plastic (KOTERM) maintains its elasticity even at extremely low temperatures (down to –200 °C), making it suitable for use in the refrigeration and food industries. At higher temperatures (up to 80–135 °C, depending on the type), it remains stable and retains its mechanical properties.
Thanks to its low friction coefficient, it is ideal for sliding and guiding elements where minimal wear and smooth movement are crucial.

Applications of PE Plastic (KOTERM) in industry

Due to its chemical and mechanical resistance, PE Plastic (KOTERM) is used in many sectors:

• mechanical engineering and automation (sliding elements, gears, spacers, housings),
• food industry (cutting boards, conveyor surfaces, guides),
• chemical industry (containers, tanks, pipes for aggressive substances),
• construction and architecture (insulating components, protective panels),
• transport and logistics equipment (conveyor belts, guiding rails),
• pharmaceutical and medical industries (sterile components and bases).

With its excellent balance of cost, durability, and processability, PE Plastic (KOTERM) is often used as a replacement for heavier metals or less resistant thermoplastics.
