USA Sealing UHMW Polyethylene Bar 24in x 1.5in x 0.5in White Standard

Description

Product Overview

The USA Sealing UHMW polyethylene bar is a 24‑inch long, 1.5‑inch wide, and 0.5‑inch thick white bar designed for demanding industrial and scientific applications. Made from standard‑grade UHMW polymer, it delivers a low coefficient of friction (0.15) and excellent impact strength (16 ft‑lb/in). With a hardness of 70D, density of 0.034 lb/cu in, and a temperature range of –70°F to 180°F, this bar meets FDA and UL 94 HB specifications, ensuring safety for food‑contact and high‑heat environments.

Usage

Ideal for wear plates, guide rails, conveyor components, and food‑processing equipment, this UHMW bar performs well in wet or dry conditions thanks to its near‑zero water absorption (0.0001). Its very slippery surface reduces wear on moving parts, while the material’s toughness handles heavy impacts. Suitable for manufacturers, maintenance crews, and DIY engineers seeking a reliable, low‑maintenance solution.

FAQ

What is the recommended cutting method for this UHMW bar?

Use a fine‑toothed saw or CNC router with a carbide blade; avoid excessive heat to maintain material integrity.

Can this bar be used in direct food processing contact?

Yes, the bar meets FDA standards, making it suitable for food‑grade applications where hygiene is critical.

How does the low friction rating benefit my equipment?

The very slippery surface (coefficient of friction 0.15) minimizes drag, reducing energy consumption and wear on adjacent parts.

Is the bar resistant to chemicals commonly found in industrial settings?

UHMW polyethylene offers excellent resistance to most acids, bases, and solvents, though prolonged exposure to strong oxidizers should be avoided.

What warranty does USA Sealing provide?

We offer a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and dimensional inconsistencies.
