Usa Industrials BULK-PS-UHMW-912 Uhmwpe Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-UHMW-912 is a solid ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bar stock measuring 1 inch thick and 60 inches long with a square cross-section. UHMWPE is a dense, wear-resistant thermoplastic valued for its low coefficient of friction, impact resistance, and chemical compatibility across a wide range of industrial fluids. This bar is supplied in white and is intended for fabrication, machining, or direct installation as a wear pad, guide rail liner, slide surface, or structural component in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in industrial, OEM, and facilities-maintenance environments are the primary installers and end users.

UHMWPE bar stock in this size is commonly used in conveyor systems, food-processing equipment, packaging machinery, pump and valve components, and general industrial fabrication where a self-lubricating, non-metallic wear surface is required. The 1-inch-by-1-inch square profile and 60-inch length allow it to be cut to length or machined to finished dimensions using standard woodworking or plastics fabrication tooling. It is suitable for both dry-running and wet-contact applications. Dimensional tolerance is plus or minus 10 percent of stated values.

Key Features

• UHMWPE material provides excellent abrasion resistance and low-friction sliding properties
• Square cross-section measures 1 inch by 1 inch for straightforward layout and machining
• 60-inch length allows multiple finished pieces from a single bar
• White color aids visual inspection and is common in food-safe and sanitary applications
• Self-lubricating surface reduces need for added lubricants in wear-contact installations
• Chemically resistant to most acids, alkalis, and solvents encountered in industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UHMWPE bar stock for fabrication and replacement applications requiring a square 1-inch profile in industrial, OEM, and maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a band saw, table saw, or circular saw with a fine-tooth blade rated for plastics or non-ferrous materials. Secure the bar firmly before cutting or drilling to prevent movement. No heat or chemical bonding is required for mechanical fastening applications. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection during all machining operations.
