Reprocessed UHMW Polyethylene Sheet
Reprocessed UHMW sheets are partially composed of reprocessed UHMW-PE material. The reprocessed grade shows a favorable price-performance ratio for applications in many kinds of industries with less demanding requirements. However, it has overall lower property levels than virgin UHMW-PE so it should be compared to virgin UHMW before selecting for an application.
UHMW reprocessed is available in sheet/slab form and comes in both black and green colors. There will be very tiny, colored specs of reprocessed materials throughout this material. Unlike virgin grades, reprocessed UHMW is not FDA or USDA-compliant. The cost savings can make it an ideal material for rack jobs, guide rails, chain guides, and many other industrial applications.
