The engineering plastic UHMWPE sheet can be machined into virtually anything, from small gears and bearings boards to huge wear guides that until recently were only possible with metals. It not only outperforms metal in abrasion applications, it’s also easier to machine and therefore cheaper. UHMWPE sheet has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction which offers superb sliding properties and is one of the best materials for wear and abrasion resistance. UHMWPE Sheet is tough even at low temperatures, it offers low weight, and is easy to weld. This versatile plastic board can be milled, planed, sawed and drilled to create a huge variety of parts at a very competitive price.
UHMWPE sheet is an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene sheet, which is also commonly referred as UHMW sheet, or UHMWPE sheet.
