We provide CNC machining services for UHMWPE sheet or bar.
We can provide the precise dimensions according to request. Or custom shapes, industrial mechanical parts and mechanical transmission equipment such as rails, chutes, gears, etc.
The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet produced by compression molding, it has excellent wear resistance and impact resistance.
With such a production technical, the product is not flat enough. It needs to do surface milling for some applications where a flat surface required and make uniform thickness of UHMWPE sheet.

The following is to share the application of UHMWPE sheet in combination with the actual use of our customers.
In indoor ice sports venues such as skating, ice hockey, and curling, we can always see UHMWPE sheets. It has excellent low temperature resistance, wear resistance and toughness, and can function normally in ultra-low temperature environment without common plastic aging such as poor toughness and embrittlement.
The buffer pads or bearing pads of the outriggers of construction machinery and equipment often need to have very high strength and toughness, which can reduce the deformation of the pad itself when subjected to force, and provide more stable support for construction machinery. And UHMWPE is an ideal material for making pads or mats. With similar application requirements are road plates, we offer UHMWPE sheets with a non-slip and wear-resistant surface suitable for heavy-duty truck driving.
The food industry clearly points out that all materials that come into contact with food must be non-toxic, water-resistant and non-adhesive. UHMWPE is considered to be one of the materials that can be in direct contact with food. It has the advantages of no water absorption, no cracking, no deformation, and no mildew, making it an ideal accessory material for beverage and food conveyor lines. UHMWPE has good cushioning, reduced noise, reduced wear, low maintenance costs, and reduced power loss. Therefore, it can also be used to manufacture parts in production equipment such as meat deep processing, snacks, milk, candy and bread.
Once the wear resistance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was discovered, the super wear resistance made it unique, attracting a large number of users and firmly occupying a place in wear-resistant accessories, especially chain guides. Benefiting from its excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, it is widely used in the machinery manufacturing industry and can be used to make various mechanical parts such as gears, cams, impellers, rollers, pulleys, bearings, bushings, cut shafts, gaskets, elastic couplings, screws, etc.
The 3 million molecular weight polyethylene sheet has extremely high wear resistance, low friction coefficient, weather resistance and low maintenance cost, making it the preferred material for fenders in port terminals. UHMWPE fenders are very easy to install to steel, concrete, wood and rubber.
The high wear resistance, high impact resistance and self-lubricating properties of UHMWPE sheet make it suitable for the lining of hoppers, silos and chutes of coal, cement, lime, mines, salt and grain powdery materials. It can effectively avoid the adhesion of the conveyed material and ensure a stable transportation.
Taking full advantage of the self-lubricating, non-water-absorbing, and strong anti-corrosion properties of UHMWPE, we can modify it into exclusive plates and parts suitable for the nuclear industry, nuclear submarines, and nuclear power plants. It is worth mentioning that these uses cannot be accomplished by metal materials.
What are the primary benefits of using UHMWPE liners?
UHMWPE liners provide exceptional durability, outstanding abrasion resistance, and high impact strength. They are self-lubricating, have a very low friction coefficient, and resist low temperatures and corrosion, making them ideal protective linings for handling abrasive materials.
In what industries can UHMWPE sheets be applied?
UHMWPE is widely used in indoor ice sports venues (skating/hockey), construction machinery (buffer pads/road plates), food processing and medical conveying systems, wear-resistant mechanical parts (gears/guides), port terminal fenders, silo and truck carriage linings, and the nuclear industry.
Is UHMWPE safe for direct contact with food?
Yes, UHMWPE is non-toxic, water-resistant, non-adhesive, and resistant to mildew. It does not crack or deform under normal use conditions, making it an ideal choice for beverage, meat, snack, and bread processing and conveying lines.
How does the wear resistance of UHMWPE compare to other plastics and steel?
According to laboratory wear rate testing, UHMWPE has a wear rate of 0.32, which is significantly lower (meaning more wear-resistant) than PTFE (1.72), Nylon 6 (3.30), Steel A (7.36), and Purple Steel (13.12).
What processing and customization services do you offer?
We provide complete fabrication and processing services, including CNC machining, milling, moulding, assembly, and custom shape development for industrial mechanical parts, transmission rails, chutes, and gears.
Why is surface milling necessary for compression-molded UHMWPE sheets?
UHMWPE sheets manufactured via compression molding may not have a perfectly flat surface out of the mold. Surface milling is applied to ensure a uniform thickness and achieve a highly flat surface required for precision applications.
