Muralen® black

Muralen® black is based on high molecular weight polyethylene (PE-HMW) and is ideally suited for use in applications that require the generally impressive material properties of polyethylene. However, it is only used in cases where the excellent slide and wear resistance properties of Original Material "S"® are not required. Because of its great cut, impact, and shock resistance, this material is often used to make underlays for cutting and punching machines and for ram guards.
