UHMW Sheeting 4’ x 10’ sheets

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

Natural UHMW – White in color. This UHMW sheet meets FDA/USDA and 3-A dairy guidelines. It is an excellent high wear material.

Reprocessed or Recycled UHMW – Green or Black in color. This sheet is a blend of virgin and regenerated UHMW polymers that maintain an acceptable combination of properties for less demanding applications. This sheet is not FDA approved.

Antistatic UHMW – Black in color. This UHMW sheet protects parts sensitive to build up of static electricity. It permits partial transmission of electrical charge, thus dissipating static build-up.

Features

HIGH RESISTANCE TO ABRASION
Outlasts abrasion resistant steel 3 to 4 times.

NON-SPARKING
An important safety aspect.

ZERO MOISTURE ABSORPTION
UHMW polyethylene will not absorb moisture and swell.

EASY TO FABRICATE
Use standard wood or metalworking tools.

LIGHTWEIGHT
Easy to handle. 1/8 the weight of steel.

SELF-LUBRICATING
Ideal for dry-moving applications where lubricants are not tolerated.

FDA & USDA APPROVED
Odor free, taste free, and non-corrosive.

HIGHLY ENERGY ABSORBENT 
Virtually won’t crack.

LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION 
Super slippery surface-no caking or bridging of bulk materials.

CHEMICALLY INERT 
Not affected by corrosive environment, resists all alkalies and acids except concentrated nitric and sulfuric.

HIGH IMPACT STRENGTH 
Withstands repeated impact.

Material:

Virgin UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) polyehhtylene.

Molecular Weight:

3.1 to 6.0 million. (5.0 million average)

Method of Manufacture:

Compression molded.

Color:

White, other colors available on special order.

Temperature:

-60°F to +225°F/ -51°C to +107°C

Flammability:

UHMW polyethylene is termed “slow burning”. Combustion in excess of air results in harmless by-products (fumes) which are nontoxic.

Limitations:

As a lining material, UHMW sheeting should not be used for the following: (1) Hard or sharp material, such as rocks or sharp glass. (2) In glancing impact areas. (3) In high-velocity chutes. (4) In chutes that make rapid changes of direction.
