Product Description

This plastic sheet is made from white ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene, which is also called high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) or high-performance polyethylene (HPPE). UHMW is a thermoplastic with long chains that crosslink to help create a durable material with greater resistance to corrosives, impact, and abrasion than carbon steel and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It has a low coefficient of friction, low moisture absorption, and a wide temperature range.

Depending on your particular application, this material deserves consideration. It's strong enough to thread screws into, non-conductive, and cuts with any decent saw. I used it to make the front for a switch panel, and it's just what the doctor ordered. Since it's translucent, you can even backlight it with a simple light bulb. Really cool...

I needed some UHMW to make a router fence. This is good stuff. I thought it was a little warped but realized that the material, by nature, tends to deform. If you take a piece of it and force it into a new shape, it'll hold the shape...

For what it's worth, it cuts fine on the table saw, on the router table, on the jointer, etc. Just don't let it burn (obviously) - other than that, it's a snap to machine into whatever you need it for around the shop.
