Proteus® & Sanalite® are a family of polyethylene and polypropylene shapes that exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and high performance in thermoforming and corrosive environments. These versatile plastic materials are easy to fabricate and find use a wide variety of applications below 180°F (82°C).
Proteus® HDPE shapes are used in a variety of environments requiring excellent impact resistance, superior tensile strength, low moisture absorption, great chemical and corrosion resistance, and easy fabrication and welding capabilities. Due to these characteristics and properties, Proteus® HDPE is often a favored solution for components in chain guides, orthotic and prosthetic devices, tanks, thermoformed material handling devices, and water storage applications.
