- Finish: Pressed and planed sheet with a smooth, consistent surface suitable for machining and fabrication.
- Colour: Distinctive green sheet for easy identification in engineering and processing environments.
- Thickness options: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 mm and additional thicknesses to suit a range of structural and wear applications.
- Standard sheet size: 2000 mm sheet length for straightforward handling and cutting down to size.
- Sheet width: 1000 mm width providing a versatile format for large components or multiple parts per sheet.
- Engineered properties: Excellent impact, abrasion and chemical resistance for long service life under demanding conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
- Outstanding impact resistance helps prevent cracking and breakage in high-load, high-shock applications, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Very low friction surface supports smooth material flow in chutes, hoppers and conveyors, helping to minimise product hang-up and blockages.
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance delivers long-lasting performance in sliding and contact surfaces such as wear strips and guides.
- Good chemical resistance to many common industrial chemicals and cleaning agents makes the sheet suitable for harsh processing environments.
- Regenerated PE1000 construction offers a more economical and resource-efficient option while maintaining robust mechanical properties.
- Easy to machine, cut and fabricate using standard workshop equipment, allowing rapid production of bespoke parts and profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this regenerated PE1000 UHMWPE sheet be machined with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the sheet can be cut, drilled and machined using standard woodworking or light metalworking tools with sharp cutters. Using appropriate feeds, speeds and support will help maintain edge quality and dimensional accuracy.
Is the regenerated PE1000 UHMWPE sheet suitable for use in wet or chemically exposed environments?
The sheet offers very good resistance to moisture and many common industrial chemicals, making it suitable for wet and chemically challenging environments. However, it is always advisable to check compatibility with specific chemicals, concentrations and temperatures before use.
How do I choose the right thickness of PE1000 UHMWPE sheet for my application?
Select the thickness based on the expected load, span and type of wear or impact the sheet will experience. Thinner sheets can be used as liners or light-duty wear surfaces, while thicker sheets are recommended for structural components, heavy wear strips and high-impact protection.
