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.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery Sheets and Bars Made from Teflon® PTFE
Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are excellent electrical insulators. They're easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.
