Usa Industrials BULK-PS-UHMW-910 Uhmw Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-UHMW-910 is a rectangular bar stock made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a high-performance engineering plastic widely used in industrial and mechanical applications. Measuring 0.75 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 60 inches long, this bar offers excellent wear resistance, low friction, and high impact strength in a lightweight, machinable form. It weighs approximately 1.6 pounds. UHMWPE is valued for its self-lubricating surface and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and moisture, making it a practical choice for fabricated wear parts, guides, liners, and custom components.

This bar stock is suited for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and trade professionals who need a reliable UHMWPE feedstock for cutting, milling, or routing custom parts. Typical applications include slide pads, bearing surfaces, cutting board material, wear strips, and chute liners in light industrial and mechanical service environments. The white color indicates natural-grade UHMWPE without colorant additives beyond product identification.

Key Features

• UHMWPE material provides excellent abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction
• Self-lubricating surface reduces need for external lubricants in sliding contact applications
• 60-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple cut-to-length parts from a single bar
• Rectangular profile simplifies fixturing and machining operations
• Resistant to moisture, most chemicals, and corrosion
• Lightweight at 1.6 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose UHMWPE bar stock for fabrication and replacement part applications across light industrial, mechanical, and maintenance service environments.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of UHMWPE bar stock is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard woodworking or metalworking tools with sharp carbide or high-speed steel tooling. Secure the bar firmly before cutting to prevent movement. UHMWPE expands slightly with temperature changes, so allow appropriate clearance in close-tolerance applications. No electrical lockout or fluid shutoff is required for raw material fabrication, but always follow shop safety protocols when operating cutting or milling equipment.
