Barrel materials
The materials used for the barrel are determined by the chemical and thermal loading paramters. We use PP, PE 500 und ultra-high molecular polyethylen PE 1000.
Properties:
Barrel material PP grey
- smooth, water-repellent surface
- resistant to chemical corrosion
- resistant to abrasion
- impact resistant
- withstands temperatures up to 80 degree celsius
- suitable for welding
Barrel material PE 500 natural
- smooth, water-repellent surface
- resistant to chemical corrosion
- Good abrasion resistance
- High impact resistant
- withstands temperatures up to 90 degree celsius
- suitable for welding
Barrel material PE 1000 natural
- smooth, extremely water-repellant surface
- resistant to chemical corrosion
- Extremely abrasion resistant
- Totally impact resistant
- withstands temperatures up to 100 degree celsius
