Usa Industrials BULK-PS-UHMWB-14 Uhmw Sheet 36x48in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-UHMWB-14 is a black UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight) polyethylene plastic sheet measuring 0.125 inches thick, 36 inches wide, and 48 inches long. UHMW polyethylene is a dense thermoplastic known for outstanding abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and low friction. This sheet weighs 7.34 pounds and is sold as a single flat stock piece ready for fabrication. It is commonly cut, drilled, or machined by industrial fabricators, maintenance machinists, and trade professionals who need a durable, low-maintenance plastic material for protective or structural applications.

This UHMW sheet is suited for light industrial and commercial fabrication work. Common applications include conveyor wear strips, machine guards, equipment housings, chute liners, and slide surfaces. Its black color provides UV-absorbing pigmentation useful in exposed outdoor or high-light environments. The sheet format allows fabricators to cut custom parts to fit specific machine frames or guard assemblies without the waste of larger stock.

Key Features

• UHMW polyethylene construction delivers high abrasion and impact resistance
• Flat sheet stock at 0.125 inches thick for easy sawing, drilling, and routing
• 36 x 48 inch sheet size provides a full 12 square feet of material per piece
• Black pigmentation suitable for UV-exposed and light-industrial environments
• Low friction surface reduces wear in sliding contact applications such as conveyor guides
• Lightweight at 7.34 pounds per sheet for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat stock sheet for fabrication into conveyor components, machine guards, equipment housings, and similar industrial parts where UHMW polyethylene properties are specified.

Installation Notes

UHMW polyethylene sheet is typically cut and shaped by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard woodworking or metal fabrication tools such as circular saws, jigsaws, and drill presses. Standard carbide-tipped blades are recommended for clean cuts. Secure the sheet firmly before cutting to prevent movement. Follow all applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and chip containment when machining plastic stock.
