It offers excellent abrasion resistance and low moisture absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRG1000 Sheet is made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with recycled material, providing an economical alternative to virgin grades while maintaining similar performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical and Thermal Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sheet has a tensile strength of 22 MPa and a Shore D hardness. It can withstand service temperatures up to 80°C for long-term use, with a short-term maximum of 90°C and a melting point around 135°C. Its thermal conductivity is measured at 0.43 W\/(K*m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvantages and Disadvantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRG1000 is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic, featuring low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction. It is self-lubricating and highly resistant to abrasion, water, moisture, and most chemicals. However, it is not FDA approved and is unsuitable for high tensile applications or food contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications and Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sheet is commonly used for lining chutes, hoppers, slide-ways, and wear blocks in aggressive environments. Its low moisture absorption makes it suitable for marine applications. However, it is not recommended for food or medical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMachining and Fabrication\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRG1000 can be machined into various shapes and parts, from small gears to large sprockets. It is easier to machine than metals and offers cost-effective solutions for many engineering
