UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Sheet, Opaque White, Standard Tolerance, ASTM D4020, 1/2" Thickness, 12" Width, 24" Length

Used it to make a dash console with cut outs for switches and gauges for my boat. Cuts cleanly, holds a wood screw, strong enough to bolt on, weather resistant. Perfect.

This 12" x 12" sheet came with slick surfaces front and back. (I don't care, but wanted to mention it for anyone expecting a matte or textured surface.) This is very tough material. Before I started my project (linkage guard for off-road motorcycle/high-impact application), I took it out back and put it on top of a cinder block, then used a hammer to attempt to break off a 1" corner section. It didn't flinch at all, and mind you this is only 1/4" thick. It did eventually bend a little after repeated pounding but no sign of cracking, splintering or breakage. When I tried to cut it with a hack saw, it fought me hard. I'll have to borrow my buddy's band saw to get the cuts I need without pulling a muscle.

This stuff works great! I ordered a 12''x12''x1/4'' thick sheet. I used it to modify a set of J-hooks in my gym so that they won't damage my bars with metal to metal contact. This UHMW sheet worked great for that purpose.All I did was drill and tap the J-hooks, then countersink the UHMW sheet cut-outs. It's been holding up great for about a month now. There was a ton left over, so if it ever wears out it will be a quick and easy replacement. I don't see them wearing out any time soon though. They have held up great so far.

I had to return the first one because of a major bow and it being far from flat. I received the second one which has a ever so slight bow but nothing I can't work with. Also, the second one is also much much smoother than the first. Go figure! I was a bit frustrated at wondering how the defective item could've been shipped in the first place not to mention I was concerned about what the condition of the second one would be. I must say the return policy is seamless. I want online, printed a return label and I received a new item the same day I shipped the old one back. The return couldnt have been any easier. Its because of the seamless return/exchange that I give it four stars.

Cut up the 12x12 sheet to make a board and ski mount for my snowbike. The material is extremely dense and was hard to sand on a belt sander, so that speaks to its durability. I also dropped the bike in my garage and it landed right on both wedged pieces of plastic and it didn't even scratch it. Has held up to a full day of whoops and riding with a pow surf attached and nothing happened to it at all. Very happy with this purchase.

Purchased this to make skid plates for the feet of some outdoor benches I made. Wanted something to withstand the wear and tear when dragging the bench on concrete. This works perfectly so far. It's only been a few months but a quick check before putting them away for the winter shows almost no wear. Easy to cut with a table saw and drills easily with conventional twist drills.

I needed some UHMW to make a router fence. This is good stuff. I thought it was a little warped but realized that the material, by nature, tends to deform. If you take a piece of it and force it into a new shape, it'll hold the shape...For what it's worth, it cuts fine on the table saw, on the router table, on the jointer, etc. Just don't let it burn (obviously) - other than that, it's a snap to machine into whatever you need it for around the shop.

For those who don't know, longboarding can involve speeds in excess of 35 MPH. Speed control and cornering is often accomplished by sliding the board wheels and one or both hands on the pavement. The gloves that are used have a palm puck to take the abrasion and dissipate heat. The best gloves have a replaceable puck. Combined with sticky back industrial strength Velcro and Weldwood contact cement, this UHMW at three-quarters of an inch thick is perfect when applied to the leather glove of your choice. I have tested it at over 40 MPH and it shows very little wear (looks more scratched than worn). It is easy to cut with a scroll saw, requiring no special blade. Sanding is no problem with an random orbital sander. The pucks are cut to a 3" diameter circle. At that rate the one foot square will provide me with replaceable pucks for years!
