Frequently Asked Questions
Can this polyethylene sheet be easily machined and fabricated?
Yes, the pressed and planed polyethylene sheet can be cut, drilled, routed and shaped using standard metal or woodworking machinery with appropriate tooling. Its smooth, flat surfaces help achieve accurate tolerances and clean edges.
Is the sheet suitable for use in chemically aggressive environments?
The sheet offers high resistance to many common acids, alkalis and process chemicals, making it well suited to chemically aggressive environments. However, for critical applications it is advisable to check chemical compatibility data for the specific media and operating conditions.
Can the sheet be used outdoors or in damp conditions?
The polyethylene material has low moisture absorption and good weathering characteristics, so it can be used in damp or humid environments. For prolonged outdoor exposure, performance will depend on the exact conditions, and some colour change over time is possible.
