Colour: Hi-Viz Orange or Grey Specs: Virgin Long Term Service Temp: 90C

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is often referred to as the worlds toughest polymer. UHMWPE has high abrasion resistance, as well as high impact strength. UHMWPE is also chemically resistant and has a low coefficient of friction which makes it highly effective in a variety of applications.

Ultra 5000 UHMWPE

Colour: Natural, Black & Colours Specs: Virgin & Repro Long Term Service Temp: 90C

High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) is a type of HDPE sometimes also referred to as HMW-HDPE. The higher molecular weight gives it better wear, impact and abrasion resistance than HDPE but it does not achieve the superior performance of UHWMPE.

VERSATILITY
Densetec Sign Board is manufactured by extruding one colour on the inside and a contrasting colour on the outside. The layers are combined while the material is still molten. The result is a homogenous sheet that is guaranteed not to delaminate, crack or chip. It is superior to other sign materials, which are separate layers of material laminated together. The durable textured finish resists scratches and marring. The product is UV stabilized to resist deterioration in harsh outdoor environments, making it the perfect signage material. Need more slip from your current UHMWPE sheet? The unique bubble surface of Rocket Plate creates point contact that considerably lowers the coefficient of friction. Rocket Plate can be used anywhere where you have to move large flat surfaced objects such as panels and boxes or under conveyor belts.

NON-SKID PRODUCTS
Ultra Non-Skid technology initially developed for the United States Navy has been scaled down for commercial use. LUNS, short for Lightweight Ultra NonSkid is an exceptionally heavy duty non-skid product. It incorporates the toughness of UHMWPE with a coarse double sided black slag non-skid surface. Coloured black, in thicknesses from 10mm to 100mm. New to the Ultra Non- Skid family is Braxx permanent non- skid sheet. This non-skid technology is a direct replacement for non-skid tape and paint for industrial applications. The product has an impact resistant baseplate of UHMWPE. The surface of the sheet is covered with raised non-skid truncated domes comprised of sand or slag. Not only is the product a tactile warning surface, it also has a contrasting colour theme (dark on light or light on dark). Braxx is available in yellow with a black slag surface and blue with a white sand surface.
