Description
Product Overview
The USA Sealing UHMW Polyethylene Bar is a 12‑inch long, 1½‑inch wide, and 3/8‑inch thick bar crafted from high‑density ultra‑high‑molecular‑weight polyethylene. Its black, opaque finish offers a sleek, professional appearance while delivering a tensile strength of 4,400 psi and an impact strength of 16 ft‑lb/in. The material’s coefficient of friction is only 0.15, providing a very slippery surface that reduces wear in moving parts. Certified to meet FDA and UL 94 HB standards, this bar is suitable for applications requiring food‑grade safety and flame‑retardant performance. With a density of 0.034 lb/cu in and a hardness of 70D, it balances lightweight handling with robust durability.

Usage
This UHMW bar excels in industrial and scientific settings where low friction and high impact resistance are essential. Ideal for conveyor rollers, guide rails, wear strips, and protective barriers, it performs reliably in environments ranging from –70°F to 180°F. Its excellent water absorption rating (0.0001) makes it perfect for marine applications, food processing lines, and chemical handling equipment. Engineers, manufacturers, and maintenance teams will find it a versatile component for custom tooling, prototype builds, and replacement parts.

FAQ
What is the recommended temperature range for this UHMW bar?
The bar operates safely from –70°F up to 180°F, making it suitable for both cold storage and high‑heat industrial processes.
Is this product suitable for food‑contact applications?
Yes, it meets FDA standards, so it can be used in food processing equipment where non‑contaminating materials are required.
How does the low coefficient of friction benefit my equipment?
A coefficient of 0.15 means the surface slides easily, reducing frictional heat and wear, which extends the life of moving parts and improves efficiency.
