Polyethylene PE 500 / PE-HMW – Antimicrobial Sheets for the Food Sector
Our antimicrobial Polyethylene PE 500, also known as HMW-PE or High Molecular Weight Polyethylene 500, is the ideal choice for direct and repeated food contact. It effectively combats bacteria, viruses, molds, yeasts, and fungi.
Antimicrobial High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMW PE 500) is a versatile material suitable for various applications in the food industry, including conveyors, chutes, troughs, tension bars, and liners, thanks to its exceptional wear and abrasion resistance.
While softer than UHMW, our Antimicrobial HMW-PE is highly recommended for cutting boards. It maintains knife sharpness and complies with food safety standards.
This material’s antimicrobial properties extend throughout, effectively suppressing germ growth, reducing microbe counts (e.g., Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) by up to 99.99% compared to other materials.
Countless food industries trust our Antimicrobial PE 500 for cutting boards and ram guards. Chemical exposure during manufacturing and washing doesn’t affect its properties. Our Polyethylene PE 500 / PE-HMW – Antimicrobial Sheets are approved for use in the food industry, meeting EU and FDA regulations.
