OKULEN® OK 2000 – Blue 5893 is a Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-PolyEthylene (UHMW-PE polymer). By adding of special additives it possesses a low coefficient of friction. The improved low coefficient of friction (non-stick surface) makes this material ideal for gliding applications.
Properties:
• excellent sliding properties
• low coefficient of friction
• good notched impact strength
• very good wear resistance
• UV-stabilized
• EU1935/2004 - konform
• EU10/2011 - konform
• FDA - konform
