Grade UHMW1000 polyethylene with a very high degree of polymerization, contains a detectable metal additive. UHMW1000 polyethylene has a very strong stiffness and impact resistance. It also has a food-compatible composition.

Specifically used in the food processing and packaging industries. It can easily be used to detect food contamination through conventional metal detection systems (different results may vary depending on the sensitivity of the metal detection system used).

High molecular weight UHMW1000 polyethylene, which includes several separate groups, is in fact part of the HDPE family of high specific gravity and is classified as an engineering plastic due to its special properties.

These polymers (UHMW1000 polyethylene) are often processed by compression molding or extrusion. They can be produced in the form of sheets, films and molded components.
