UHMWPE Sheet

UHMWPE sheet (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet) is a highly durable, cost-effective and versatile material with excellent impact and chemical resistance. It is known for its extremely low density, excellent sliding properties and toughness. Because of its toughness, extremely low coefficient of friction and inherent lubricity, UHMWPE sheet is ideal for applications where high friction is likely to occur.

UHMW is available in the form of plastic rods, sheets, and tubes, and it outperforms traditional materials like metal, wood, and nylon when it comes to wear resistance and impact strength. Its slick surface and low coefficient of friction help reduce equipment wear, cut down on energy use, and significantly lower maintenance costs. UHMW sheets can handle extreme temperatures ranging from -22°F (-30°C) up to 180°F (82°C) without compromising their physical properties.

Thanks to its natural lubricity and resistance to moisture, UHMW is a go-to choice for a wide range of industrial applications. You’ll find it used in conveyor wear strips, truck bed liners, star wheels, valve components, and food service parts. It’s also FDA and USDA compliant, making it safe for use in food processing environments.

As a trusted plastic supplier and sheet distributor, ABOSN offers UHMW plastic in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and colors. We also provide custom cut-to-size services to meet your specific project needs.

Key Features of UHMW

Wear and Moisture Resistance:

With a molecular weight ranging from 3.1 million to over 100 million g/mol, UHMW offers exceptional wear and moisture resistance. In fact, its wear resistance increases as the molecular weight goes up.

Durability and Cost-Effectiveness:

Virgin UHMW is incredibly tough and budget-friendly. It delivers outstanding impact resistance and chemical resistance, making it a smart choice for long-term use in demanding environments.

High Toughness and Low Friction:

Thanks to its high toughness, low coefficient of friction, and naturally self-lubricating surface, UHMW is ideal for high-friction applications. These properties help reduce maintenance needs, save energy, and extend the lifespan of equipment.

Temperature Flexibility:

UHMW performs well at temperatures up to 180°F (82°C) and retains its physical properties even in freezing conditions as low as -22°F (-30°C).

Chemical Resistance and Machinability:

Virgin UHMW is FDA and USDA compliant, offers strong chemical resistance, and is easy to machine—making it suitable for everything from food processing parts to industrial components.

UHMWPE Sheet Applications

Wear strips, guide rails, and chain guides in conveyor systems. Their low friction surface ensures smooth movement, reduces noise, and minimizes wear on equipment.

UHMWPE sheets are used as liner materials in dump trucks, trailers, and hoppers. They help materials slide out easily and prevent sticking, even with sticky or wet loads like grain, coal, or soil.

Due to its resistance to saltwater, UV rays, and corrosion, UHMWPE sheet is ideal for use in dock bumpers, fenders, and marine piling protection, providing long-lasting, impact-resistant solutions.

UHMWPE sheets are lined inside chutes, silos, and hoppers in mining, cement, and bulk material handling facilities to prevent clogging and abrasion, helping materials flow freely and reducing downtime.

UHMWPE is also used in joint replacements and orthopedic implants due to its excellent biocompatibility and wear resistance, especially in applications like hip and knee joint components.

UHMWPE used to manufacture bushings, sprockets, gears, and bearings in industrial machines. Its self-lubricating nature reduces friction and extends the life of moving parts.

UHMWPE sheets are used in ice rinks, ski slopes, synthetic ice surfaces, and snowboard park features, thanks to their slickness, weather resistance, and low maintenance needs.

In paper mills, UHMWPE sheets are used for wear pads, suction box covers, and chain guides, where they can handle wet, abrasive environments without degrading.

Because UHMWPE resists a wide range of chemicals, it’s often used in environments where corrosive materials are present, such as chemical tanks, scrubbers, and liners.
