ROBAGLAS®

PE-UHMW | PE 1000 | Polyethylene

PE-UHMW reinforced with with glass microbeads. Black.

Special plastics used for dewatering elements in the paper industry. Basic PE-UHMW alloyed with dry-film lubricant, cross-linked, with UV stabilizers and additional glass microbeads. Increased wear resistance thanks to the glass microbeads, increasing the service life of dewatering elements by up to 20%.
