Usa Industrials BULK-PS-UHMW-941 Uhmw Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-UHMW-941 is a rectangular bar stock made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a dense thermoplastic known for its high impact resistance, low friction surface, and chemical resistance. Measuring 0.125 inches thick, 0.5 inches wide, and 60 inches long, this white bar is used in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical applications where a lightweight, wear-resistant plastic material is needed. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators work with UHMWPE bar stock to cut, mill, drill, or shape custom components for industrial and light commercial use.

UHMWPE bar stock is commonly used in food processing equipment, conveyor systems, guide rails, wear pads, spacers, and similar applications that require a non-corroding, low-friction material. The thin profile of this bar at 0.125 inches thick makes it well suited for shim stock, liner material, or small custom-cut parts where precise dimensional control matters. It performs in both wet and dry environments and does not absorb moisture, which helps maintain dimensional stability after cutting.

Key Features

• Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) construction offers high impact resistance and a low-friction surface
• Rectangular bar shape simplifies cutting, drilling, and machining to size
• White color for easy visual identification in multi-material shops
• Does not absorb moisture, supporting dimensional stability in wet environments
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds per piece, easy to handle and transport
• 60-inch length provides flexibility for single-cut or multi-cut applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UHMWPE bar stock for fabrication and maintenance applications in industrial, commercial, and light mechanical settings where a machinable, wear-resistant plastic bar is required.

Installation Notes

UHMWPE bar stock is typically worked by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard woodworking or metal shop tools including band saws, table saws, drill presses, and milling machines. Secure the bar firmly before cutting to prevent movement, as the low-friction surface can shift under tool pressure. When used as a liner or wear pad, fasten according to equipment manufacturer specifications. No heat or adhesive bonding should be assumed without verifying compatibility with the specific UHMWPE grade in use.
