PE-HD sheets blue 19mm custom cut (UV-stabilised)

Blue polyethylene sheets for outdoor use with grain on both sides

19mm thickness ✓ Graining on both sides ✓ Made in Germany

Our blue polyethylene sheets with a thickness of 19mm have a medium grain on both sides of the surface that resembles the surface structure of leather (see detailed view). To ensure the same blue colour, similar to RAL5005, on both cut edges and surfaces, our grained PE-HD sheets are fully dyed throughout. These plastic sheets are exclusively solid core material. This means that the sheets are solid and do not have a foamed polyethylene core. Compared to our PE sheets with a smooth surface, the grained surface is relatively insensitive to scratches and is supplied without a protective film.

Properties of our polyethylene sheets in blue

Our blue polyethylene sheets have a high density with comparatively low weight and are lighter than water. Our grained sheets have excellent resistance to chemicals, as well as very good impact strength, which is why these sheets are very suitable for tank construction in chemical plants, as well as for wall and impact protection in industrial plants. Polyethylene is a very versatile plastic, with good sliding properties and a very long service life, and is very easy to process. It has electrically insulating properties, which is why PE-HD is also very often used in the electrical industry or in machine and plant construction. The blue PE sheets are also used in livestock and agriculture, as well as in the food processing industry, because they are approved for use in the food and drinking water sector.

Our blue PE-HD sheets with grained surface are UV and weather resistant. The weatherproof plastic sheets are insensitive to frost and thus have very good impact resistance and good sliding properties even at low temperatures. UV-resistant polyethylene does not become brittle or splinter and the rich blue colour does not lose its intensity even after years of direct sunlight. For these reasons, as well as the property that our blue, grained PE sheets can be easily cleaned and graffiti can also be removed relatively well, this material is very popular in public playgrounds, sports facilities and swimming pools.

Approvals and standards for our PE-HD sheets in blue

• DIN EN71 (safety of play equipment)
• DIN 4102 B2 (normal flammability)
• REACH (EU Chemicals Regulation)
• RoHS (Regulation on the Prohibition of Hazardous Substances in the Electrical Industry)
• BGA and FDA approval (physiologically harmless)

Order your blue PE sheets conveniently online to size thanks to our cutting service

Due to our high storage capacity, we always have sufficient quantities of blue PE sheets with a grained surface in stock, so that cutting to size and delivery of your plastic sheets within the shortest possible time is no problem. To order the PE-HD sheets in the desired size, simply enter the required dimensions and quantity in our cutting configurator. The sheets are cut to size with millimetre precision on one of our computer-controlled panel saws. Thanks to our milling service, even complex, individual shapes are possible. Read all about it on the information page about our milling service.

Application examples for polyethylene (PE-HD) in blue

• Floating islands in outdoor swimming pools and bathing lakes are often made of blue, weather-resistant polyethylene
• Blue polyethylene sheets are very often used in tank construction for the chemical and food industries
• Our blue polyethylene sheets are impact resistant and therefore perfect as impact protection in warehouses and logistics operations
• Blue PE-HD sheets are used in transport and conveyor systems in food processing companies
• and many more

Processing of polyethylene (PE-HD) in blue

Polyethylene is a plastic that can be worked in many different ways. It can be sawn, milled, drilled or turned with woodworking tools without any problems. Cutting our blue PE-HD sheets with a grained surface can be done just as well with a water jet cutting machine or with a CO2 laser. Even the punching of moulded parts made of polyethylene is no great challenge with our 19 mm thick sheets. In the industrial use of polyethylene for the production of finished plastic parts as series production, thermoforming is a common and cost-effective method. Due to the effect of heat, polyethylene can be excellently thermoformed or deep-drawn in order to obtain very individual shapes that cannot be realised with other processing methods.

Due to its chemical resistance, polyethylene cannot be glued with normal adhesives. Even sticking with films or a digital print is not long-lasting with PE. In addition, it is not possible to print or paint polyethylene sheets. Even solvent-based graffiti paints do not dissolve on the surface and can be removed comparatively easily.

To ensure a permanent, secure connection of the blue polyethylene sheets (or with other plastic sheets made of PE), this plastic is usually welded with an appropriate welding wire. We offer the PE welding rods that can be used for this in our online shop in different colours and thicknesses as yard goods at favourable graduated prices.

NOTE: Polyethylene cannot be glued with conventional adhesives. For this reason, we carry the special 2-component adhesive PEprofi from S-Polybond in our online shop, which was specially developed for bonding PE.
