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.
