## Overview

This 12" x 12" x 1/4" UHMW polyethylene sheet offers superior impact, chemical, and moisture resistance with a low-friction surface that outperforms PTFE in abrasion resistance. Certified to ASTM D4020, D6712, and D4976 standards, it delivers industrial-grade durability and precision, making it ideal for professional-grade DIY projects and manufacturing applications.

## Description

The opaque white UHMW sheet has a standard tolerance and meets American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM D4020, D6712, and D4976 specifications. UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) polyethylene is an impact-, chemical-, and moisture-resistant plastic that has excellent abrasion resistance and a low-friction surface. UHMW is more rigid than LDPE and HDPE, and has better abrasion resistance than PTFE.Plastic refers to a group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that have been engineered to achieve specific properties. The most notable characteristics of plastics are its low weight, machinability, corrosion resistance, and typically good thermal and electrical insulating properties. Certain plastic grades also offer optical transparency similar to glass, low-friction or self-lubricating surfaces, and exceptional impact resistance. Depending on their properties, certain plastic grades can be used as alternatives to metal, glass, and ceramic. Unlike metal, plastic may experience creep, which is deformation caused by longtime exposure to a constant load.Tensile strength, used to indicate the material’s overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Impact resistance is the measure of a material’s ability to absorb a shock of energy before breaking.

Review: Good, and slippery - I used this material for a 'glide' for a cloned Biesemeyer table saw fence I made. It worked great.
Review: Easy to use - I recently bought a new table saw, a Powermatic 64B. There is apparently no zero clearance insert made for it, so I decided to make my own. The insert is approximately 4" x 18". I used the table saw with a plywood blade to cut a blank to an approximate size, then used double-sided tape to stick the original saw insert to the UHMW sheet. Over to the band saw to cut off the corners, and then to the router table, where a pattern-cutting bit made short work of "final" shaping. Next the drill press made a finger hole. The result was a table saw insert that wouldn't fit as it was too large by a small fraction of an inch. I used a "surform" rasp to adjust the size until it just fit. Next, using a lot of safety precautions, I cut the kerf slot by raising the saw blade through it. Finally, a hand saw extended the kerf slit for the riving knife (if anyone knows a better way to do that, I'd like to hear it). The reason I went through that long storybwas that every one if these processes went smoothly and easily. This UHMW stuff is really easy to work with. The chips/sawdust are fairly large and get static electricity, so they cling to everything, making cleanup a bit tedious. On the "surform" step above, I tried to use a plane - unsuccessfully. For my saw, the sheet is slightly too thin, so I'm going to have to put some leveling screws in it. But I found the process of working with this stuff a lot if fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warped but ok
*by C***N on June 23, 2016*

Plastic was warped but I needed to cut it into smaller pieces so it was ok for me. If you need it to be perfectly straight you might have a problem ordering this.
