Borotron™ HM015 HMW-PE
Borotron™ HM015 shapes are made from high molecular weight polyethylene that is enhanced with 1.5% elemental boron. The boron enhancement makes this grade suitable for use in medical and nuclear shielding applications. The high hydrogen content of HMW-PE allows the material to absorb thermal neutrons, which are then absorbed by the added boron compound. For these reasons, Borotron™ HM015 HMW-PE components are prevalent in nuclear and medical technology.
- Enhanced with 1.5% elemental boron
- Very good wear and abrasion resistance
- Superior impact strength
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- Very low water absorption
- Excellent machinability
