What is the difference between PE300 and PE500?
PE300 and PE500 are different grades of polyethylene, with PE500 being a higher molecular weight version, meaning it offers greater wear resistance and impact strength compared to PE300. PE300 is easier to weld, offers a range of good properties and is a lower cost than PE500.
