Overview:
Kormax UHMWPE [short for Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene] has excellent chemical resistance, good fatigue and wear resistance. The specific gravity of polyethylene is less than 1, hence it floats in water and is easy to identify. Kormax UHMWPE has excellent impact resistance and can be used in low temperatures down to -80ºC. Most grades are non-toxic and can be used in applications in direct contact with food and can be easily machined.
