… for virgin materialsAmong Murdotec‘s materials, polyethylene takes centre stage. For ease of choice, these materials are divided into groups LD-PE, HD-PE, HMW-PE and UHMW-PE. The definitions are limited to member-ship of one group which fulfils the particular mini-mum requirements.

high quality raW materials resources…

What makes the difference? In line with our strict quality policy with regards to manufacturing and the final product, we only use selected raw materials from well-known manu-facturers. Particle size, particle size distribution and molecular weight are constantly monitored by our incoming material inspection team.

Our computer controlled press lines guarantee optimal heating-up, pressing and cooling down phases. Through exact compliance with the processing parameters, Murdotec ensures the constant production of semi-finished products with a very low level of internal stress.

Fully-automated mixing lines give us the opportunity to offer repeatable material types with clearly defined specific values.

Our UHMW-PE material lines, Murdotec® 1000 and Murdotec® 2000 as well as our HMW-PE Murdotec® 500 exceed the standards for semi-finished products as set out in DIN 16972/ISO 15527.

That makes the difference.

The question is: What defines the quality of a UHMW-PE in accordance with DIN 16972 or ISO 15527?The quality is essentially ensured by 2 factors: The base material used The processing parameters

… for our regenerated materialsDue to its molecular construction, polyethylene is particularly suitable for the recycling of waste or off cuts. The sorting accuracy and the high grinding degree have a significant influence on the quality. We store separately the materials which are suitable for recycling (UHMW-PE, HMW-PE...). Only material types of the same quality are being mixed together in order to avoid the emergence of nonconforming or mixed materials which cannot be identified by you.

How can we be so sure of ourselves? Importantly the raw material for this quality material never leaves our cycle and has passed all of the quality assurance stations in circulation. We know exactly which quality is processed in our production. As with the original material, the pressing process is a crucial factor. Moulding cycles especially adapted to this type of material ensure the quality of the product.

We pay attention to idle-times of the semi-finished products prior to further processing. This ensures that your semi-finished product from out of Murdo-tec® 1000 U achieves the optimal performance range whilst combining a very reasonable price-performance ratio.

Test our Murdotec® 1000 U and Murdotec® 500 U material types. Experience the difference.

high quality raW materials resources…

With Murdotec® 1000 U, you can be sure that you will receive a material made from UHMW-PE base material of the highest quality.

We also go one step further. In our mixing lines, a clearly defined amount of virgin material is added to every batch. You can rely on our technical specifications.

… Machine constructionFor applications in which only metallic materials were historically used, our materials open up entirely new possibilities through optimised mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. When you add gliding properties, abrasion resistance, weight saving, and noise reduction, there are many reasons why the future of machine construction should be designed with our materials.

… Transport technology and material handlingAs the requirements for the products to be conveyed are various, our materials themselves fulfil the highest expectations. The innovative material properties ensure, for example, an optimal gliding property, a high degree of abrasion resistance which results in a high level of efficiency and cost savings. Therefore our materials are fit for purpose in all transport and material handling systems.

... Filling equipmentDuring the production and filling of drinks the food safety of our materials is paramount. During the handling of, for example, paste-like or explosive materials, the focus is instead on the surface and electrostatic characteristics. Our product range includes the optimal material for every application - we will be very happy to advise you.

your application, our solution …

… The paper and forestry industryNowadays, wood is a precious raw material. For optimal transportation prior to and during processing, the use of our particularly abrasion-resistant and low-friction materials has proved to be highly efficient. From the chain and conveyer plant in the sawmill to the filter plate in the pulp industry, our particularly low-wear materials ensure a trouble-free and low maintenance manufacturing process.

… Electrical engineeringMore than 3 million tonnes of plastics are processed annually by the electrical industry and, in particular, the need for plastics with particular properties and combinations of characteristics is always increasing. Insulating and notch impact resistant for electrical housings, conductive and wear-resistant for compo-nents in potentially explosive areas, self-lubricating and low-abrasive for functional parts: our materials enable individual solutions for your application.

... Linings and bulk materials handlingMany areas of industrial production work with large quantities of raw materials which are stored as bulk material in silos. But what kind of silo or storage lining is most suitable, for example, for adhesive or abrasive bulk materials? Our extensive product range offers you the right solution for every application.

... Crane foundation support and harbour constructionWhen excessive forces are exerted on a surface, be it concrete or steel, a proper protection is essential. In crane supports and harbour construction, robust materials are required which, apart from particularly low abrasive wear and high resistance to weathering, also stand out for their good energy absorption. Protective fenders, lock gateways, loading ramps or heavy duty bracing - our materials make industrial sites safe.

… The chemical industryThe use of plastics for the construction of chemical plants enables new systems and processes to be developed, however this demands the highest requirements from the material used. Whether as a lining or construction material, you can always rely on the guaranteed and continuously tested characteristics of our materials.

... The food industryThe highest hygiene and cleanliness standards apply in the manufacturing and packaging of food products. Of course, this also applies to all materials which come into contact with them during manu-facturing and packaging. “Abrasion-resistant, antibacterial, non-adherent, and food approved”. These are just some of our material properties that illustrate why our different materials are perfectly suited for the food industry.
