USA Sealing UHMW Polyethylene Bar 48x2x48 Inch Black Standard Grade

Description

Product Overview

The USA Sealing UHMW polyethylene bar measures 48″ x 2″ x 48″ and weighs just 13.62 ounces. Crafted from standard‑grade UHMW with a 70D hardness, it delivers a tensile strength of 4,400 psi and an excellent impact rating of 16 ft‑lb/in. Its opaque black finish and very slippery surface (coefficient of friction 0.15) make it ideal for applications requiring low adhesion.

Usage

Perfect for industrial and scientific environments, this bar excels in conveyor guides, wear strips, and food‑processing equipment where FDA compliance and low water absorption are critical. It performs reliably from -70°F to 180°F, handling heavy loads and abrasive contacts without deformation.

Why Choose Us

USA Sealing’s reputation for quality ensures each bar meets UL 94 HB standards and undergoes strict dimensional tolerance checks. Our manufacturing process guarantees consistent density (0.034 lb/cu in) and minimal water uptake (0.0001), providing long‑term stability and peace of mind for demanding projects.

FAQ

What is the recommended temperature range for this bar?

The bar operates reliably from -70°F up to 180°F, making it suitable for both cold storage and high‑heat processes.

Is the material safe for food‑contact surfaces?

Yes, it meets FDA standards and is approved for use in food‑processing equipment.

How does the low coefficient of friction benefit my application?

A coefficient of 0.15 provides a very slippery surface, reducing drag and wear on adjacent components, which improves efficiency and reduces maintenance.

What are the dimensional tolerances?

Thickness tolerance is -0.002″ to +0″, width tolerance is -0.01″ to +0.01″, and length tolerance is -1″ to +1″.
