RCH® Family

RCH® is a range of high and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene stock shapes used in orthosis applications. With thermoforming temperatures ranging from 160°C to 180°C, materials in this family are suitable for deep drawing requiring malleability and weldability, as well as deep drawing requiring greater dimensional stability.

Products in the RCH® Family

RCH® 500 HMW-PE
RCH® 500 High Molecular Weight HMW-PE is a highly versatile, high-molecular weight plastic that is ideal for many orthotic applications. It has a forming temperature between +160°C to 170°C , is suited for deep-drawing and is both malleable and weldable. RCH® 500 is commonly used for ankle foot orthoses, body jackets and upper limborthoses.
