Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Sheets, Bars, and Strips
In addition to having a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough, impact- and wear-resistant material handles the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t. These sheets, bars, and strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Cast
Acrylic Sheets, Bars, and Cubes
These cast acrylic sheets, bars, and cubes are often fabricated into tanks, see-through barrier panels, and light fixture lenses. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This material is scratch and UV resistant; it stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time.
- Color: See table
- Temperature Range: -40° to 170° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000-11,250 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.3-0.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M94-M100 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1010, USP Class VI
Fiberglass Insulation Sheets
These lightweight, flexible fiberglass sheets are typically used to insulate equipment and appliances.
- Temperature Range: 0° to 350° F
- Heat Flow Rate: 0.26 Btu @ 75° F
- Density: 0.95 lbs./cu. ft.
- Color: Yellow
- Specifications Met: ASTM E84 25/50 for Flame and Smoke
Sheets with temperature range of 0° to 350° F can be layered to increase efficiency.
