Usa Industrials BULK-PS-UHMW-2 Uhmw Polyethylene Sheet

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-UHMW-2 is a full-size UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight) polyethylene plastic sheet measuring 0.125 inches thick, 48 inches wide, and 96 inches long. UHMW polyethylene is a dense, semi-rigid thermoplastic known for outstanding abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and low surface friction. This sheet is supplied in opaque white and is intended for fabrication by machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial fabricators who need a reliable wear-resistant plastic stock material cut to a standard full-sheet size.

UHMW polyethylene sheet stock is widely used in industrial and commercial settings where wear surfaces, impact protection, or low-friction liners are required. Common fabricated applications include conveyor components, machine guards, equipment housings, wear strips, chute liners, and sliding surfaces. At 0.125 inches thick, this sheet suits lighter-duty liners and guards where flexibility combined with toughness is an advantage. It can be cut, routed, drilled, and fastened using standard woodworking and metalworking tools.

Key Features

• Outstanding abrasion and wear resistance typical of UHMW polyethylene
• High impact resistance suitable for guard and housing fabrication
• Full sheet size: 48 inches wide by 96 inches long for maximum cut yield
• 0.125 inches nominal thickness for lightweight liner and guard applications
• Opaque white color; non-porous and moisture-resistant surface
• Sold as a single sheet unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UHMW polyethylene flat sheet for industrial fabrication applications including conveyor guides, machine guards, wear liners, and equipment housings.

Installation Notes

UHMW polyethylene sheet is typically cut and fabricated by machinists or maintenance personnel using standard saws, routers, and drill presses with sharp tooling to prevent melting or burring. Secure fastening is recommended with through-bolts or mechanical fasteners, as adhesive bonding to UHMW can be unreliable due to its low surface energy. Always deburr cut edges before installation to avoid sharp edges in service. Follow applicable facility safety and machinery guarding standards when fabricating protective guards or housings.
