Description
Product Overview
The USA Sealing UHMW polyethylene bar measures 48 inches long, 4 inches wide, and ½ inch thick, delivering a solid, opaque black component built for demanding industrial use. Crafted from standard‑grade UHMW with a hardness of 70D, it offers a tensile strength of 4,400 psi and an impact strength of 16 ft‑lb/in, making it resistant to wear and shock. Its very low coefficient of friction (0.15) ensures smooth movement in guide and slide applications, while the material’s near‑zero water absorption (0.0001) guarantees dimensional stability even in moist environments. Certified to meet FDA and UL 94 HB standards, this bar is ready for both mechanical and food‑contact tasks.

Usage
Designed for industrial and scientific settings, this UHMW bar excels as a wear plate, conveyor guide, or protective barrier in machinery that handles abrasive or heavy loads. Its temperature tolerance from -70°F to 180°F allows use in freezers, ovens, and outdoor equipment. Food processing plants benefit from its FDA‑approved status, while manufacturers appreciate its resistance to chemicals and impact in tooling, jig, and fixture applications. Ideal for engineers, fabricators, and maintenance teams seeking a reliable, low‑maintenance solution.
