UHMW-PE RED SHEET
B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply Inc is a distributor of Red Virgin UHMW sheet.
Our UHMW Red Virgin sheet has a molecular weight of 3.5 to 5 million. It contains no additives or reprocessed materials. B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply Inc offers UHMW-PE sheet in a wide variety of colors. See UHMW-PE Sheet.
UHMW-PE is ultra high molecular weight polyethylene that has exceptionally high abrasion and impact resistance properties. UHMW will outwear all other materials, including metals, nylons, urethanes and fluoroplastics. In corrosion resistance, it has the same qualities of other polyethylene plastics. UHMW resists corrosion, friction and wear and thus it cuts maintenance costs, energy consumption and extends equipment life. Applications for UHMW materials include guide rails, wear plates, wear strips, chain guides, conveyor fights, bin and hopper liners, chute liners, conveyor components, bumpers, and other wear applications.
