PE

Cestilene and Tivar are trade names used by Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products for its extensive range of virgin, partially reprocessed, coloured, and filled High Density Polyethylene stock shapes, manufactured by compression moulding or extrusion.

In addition to the basic grades, there are advance grades offering tailored properties for specific applications.

PE 300 (HDPE)

(Colours: Natural, Black)
Polyethylene offers excellent impact-resistance, light weight, low water absorbtion and high tensile strength. It is also non-toxic and non-staining and meeds FDA certification for dood processing. PE300 (HDPE) is one of the lower grades of Polyethylene and is available in natural or black, sheets and rods.

PE 500 (HMWPE)

(Colours: Natural (White), Black)
Molecular weight of about 500,000 g/mol.
This grade exhibits a good combination of stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping ability with wear- and abrasion resistance and can easily be welded. PE 500 is a versatile polyethylene grade used mainly in the food industry (meat and fish processing) but it is also put to use in all kinds of mechanical, chemical and electrical applications.

PE 500 Colours (Cesticolor)

(Colours: Green, Red, Yellow, King’s Blue, Sky Blue, Salmon, Orange and Chesnut)
Molecular weight of about 500,000 g/mol.
The Cesticolor HD 500 range of materials offers a series of homogeneous, attractive and food compliant colours which find particular outlet in the food and leisure industry. The property profile of these grades is practically identical to the one of Cestilene HD 500.

PE 1000 (UHMWPE)

(Colours: Natural, Black)
Molecular weight of about 4,500,000 g/mol.
Of all ultra high molecular weight polyethylene grades, PE 1000 exhibits the best balanced property profile. It combines an excellent wear and abrasion resistance with an outstanding impact strength, even at temperatures below – 200°C. Its main fields of application are: general mechanical construction; bottling-, canning- and packaging machinery; chemical and electroplating industry; cryogenic equipment; textile industry and storage systems for bulk materials.

PE 1000R (UHMWPE Regen)

(Colours: Black, Green)
Molecular weight of about 4,000,000 g/mol.
This grade, partially composed of reprocessed PE 1000 material, has an overall lower property level than the virgin PE 1000 and a lower cost. Compared with PE 500, however, it has a much better impact strength and wear resistance. PE 1000R is an economical PE-UHMW grade for use in material handling equipment.
