More economical than virgin grade
It has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction,
Its self-lubricating, and is highly resistant to abrasion.
It is also very resistant to water, moisture, most chemicals,
Resistant to UV radiation and micro-organisms.

Disadvantages

RG1000 Sheet has a maximum operating temperature of 90°C
A short term operating temperature of 120°C, and a melting point of around 135°C.
Not probably suited to high tensile applications
Since it is a recycled version of UHMWPE its not compatible in every respect.
Its not FDA approved as there is no white/natural grade
