UHMW SHEET MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Natural UHMW
– White in color. This UHMW sheet meets FDA/USDA and 3-A dairy guidelines. It is an excellent high wear material.
Reprocessed or Recycled UHMW
– Green or Black in color. This sheet is a blend of virgin and regenerated UHMW polymers that
maintain an acceptable combination of properties for less demanding applications. This sheet is not FDA approved.
Antistatic UHMW
– Black in color. This UHMW sheet protects parts sensitive to build up of static electricity. It permits partial
transmission of electrical charge, thus dissipating static build-up.
