Metal Detectable ‘Detectathene’ UHMW-PE

Metal Detectable

This metal detectable UHMWPE, with an extremely high degree of polymerisation, contains a metal detectable additive and offers excellent toughness, impact strength, and wear/abrasion resistance.

Detectable UHMWPE - 'Detectathene' - FDA & EU compliant for food contact. Specifically designed for food factories to use in the food processing and packaging industries. Helping to prevent foreign body contamination.

Low friction material ideal for food processing & transportation.

This is a bespoke product with custom sizes available so please talk to a sales representative for more details.

Typical applications:
  • chain guider elements
  • wear strips
  • funnels
  • rollers
  • bushings
  • corner wear bends
  • idler wheels

 

Detectamet recommend that all our detectable products are tested in the food factory / processing environment that they will be used. We want to help you make your processing environment the best, safest and most compliant it can be.

As part of this process, we can send you samples of the majority of our Detectable Products - shipped directly from Detectamet Australia's Sydney warehouse throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
