SHIPPING QUOTE UPON REQUEST

This product description details a large sheet of UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Virgin Polymer, with dimensions of 80 inches by 160 inches and a thickness of 1/4 inch. This material is highly valued across various industries due to its exceptional properties and versatility.

As a virgin UHMW sheet, it signifies that the polymer is unblended with recycled materials, ensuring optimal performance and often compliance with regulations for direct food contact (e.g., FDA, USDA). This natural UHMW typically presents a translucent white or off-white appearance. Its key attributes include:

Outstanding Abrasion and Wear Resistance: This makes it highly durable in applications involving sliding or repetitive contact, significantly outperforming many other plastics and even some metals in abrasive environments.
Very Low Coefficient of Friction (Self-Lubricating): UHMW’s exceptionally slick surface minimizes friction and heat generation, leading to smoother operation, reduced energy consumption, and extended lifespan for mating components.
High Impact Strength: It exhibits remarkable toughness and resistance to shattering, even in cold temperatures, making it suitable for applications where impact absorption is critical.
