Recycled UHMW Polyethylene Sheets

More sustainable than standard UHMW, these sheets and bars are made from partially recycled material, so they have a lower carbon footprint. They help meet sustainability certifications such as LEED or Envision. Because the surface is slippery and resists wear, these sheets are often used as machine guards, conveying equipment, and chute liners. However, this material has a lower tensile and yield strength than standard UHMW, so it should not be used in high tension environments. Also known as mechanical-grade UHMW.

Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.

Recycled Marine-Grade HDPE Sheets

Made of recycled HDPE plastic, these sheets are more sustainable and economical than standard marine-grade moisture-resistant HDPE sheets. They won’t absorb moisture or swell when exposed to humidity. They also won’t degrade in salt water. However, their properties have more variance and broader ranges than material that is not recycled. Because these sheets have a low carbon footprint, they can help you meet criteria for sustainability certifications, such as LEED and Envision, or comply with company environmental initiatives.

Rough Texture—The rough texture masks scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints.

Recycled Antistatic UHMW Polyethylene Sheets

Made with carbon black, these recycled UHMW sheets are a sustainable alternative to standard UHMW sheets in applications where static electricity is a concern, such as in conveying equipment and chute liners. They have a slippery surface that prevents sticking and binding. They also absorb shocks and won’t wear down from friction. Because of their low carbon footprint, these sheets can help you meet criteria for sustainability certifications, such as LEED and Envision. They can also help you comply with company environmental initiatives. These recycled UHMW sheets have lower material properties than those that are not recycled.
