Polymershapes carries standard sizes of UHMW sheet, pre-cut and custom orders can be cut to your desired size. We stock UHMW sheet in dimensional measurements ranging up to 60” x 120”. You can order this material in a thickness ranging from 0.060″ – 6″

This unique thermoplastic features a great wear and corrosion resistance and good electrical insulating properties. In fact, compared to materials such as metals, nylons, and flouropolymers, UHMW Sheet features a wear resistance that is far superior to these others.



FDA Compliant

As well as many other industry-standard certifications, UV resistant and antiskid.



Resistant To UV Radiation

When exposed to UV, UHMW is protected against cracks or disintegration.



Self Lubricating

At elevated temperatures and pressure conditions, chemically reactive constituents react with the contact surface. This helps in to avoid major wear or breakdown.
