Our price is for the total amount of pieces your entire order needs to be cut into:
For Example
- Buy 1 sheet/rod and have it cut into 15 pieces = £10
- Buy 3 sheets/rods and have each one cut into say 5 pieces (total = 15 pieces) = £10
What to do:
- Click the "Cutting" tab in our menu to visit the cutting section (if you're not already there)
- Click the "Buy Now" button of whichever quantity corresponds to your needs
- See bottom of this page, on how to advise your sizes and any notes
Want more than 300 pieces?
Please give our sales team a call on 0114 2560889
Notes/tips:
- Please allow at least 4mm in your cutting allowance calculations for the width of the saw cut
- We use table saws and horizontal band-saws, so edges will have a sawn finish
- We only use sawing equipment, so we are unable to offer high precision items
- Tolerances are +2mm to minus 0mm
- We aim to cut as squarely as possible although incoming materials are sometimes out of square
- We are unable to cut or machine shapes but we are happy to obtain a custom quotation for machined
shapes or parts (please call us on 0114 2560889)
How to advise your sizes:
- Please checkout your basket/cart
- Fill in your details as usual on the checkout page
- At section 5 of our checkout page, there's a "customer notes" box for you
- Please enter your sizes and any notes for us there
UHMWPE Rod Tolerances
Manufacturers produce engineering plastics that are slightly oversize in either diameter and/or thickness.
This oversize tolerance, which is listed in the tables below, is provided to assist customers to produce
very accurate items within the size shown and remove any minor surface imperfection.

UHMWPE Rod
Product Information
Product Full Identity:
Polyethylene - Ultra-High Molecular Weight
PE1000 has high abrasion resistance, excellent sliding properties and high toughness. It has good chemical resistance, high impact strength and low moisture absorption. PE1000 is also food compliant for all critical processing applications.
Properties
- Excellent wear and sliding properties
- High impact strength
- Wide temperature range (+80 to -200°C)
- Low coefficient of friction
- Very low moisture absorption
- Food contact approved
Applications
- Food processing
- Conveyor and bottling industries
- General machining
- Plant engineering
- Bulk material handling
Has extremely low moisture absorption
Very low coefficient of friction
Self-lubricating and is highly resistant to abrasion.
Very resistant to water, moisture, most chemicals
Resistant to micro-organisms.
UHMWPE only becomes brittle at temperatures below −150°C.
Not advisable to use UHMWPE at temperatures exceeding 80°C to 100°C for extended periods of time.
UHMWPE will deform continually as long as the stress is present, an effect known as creep.
Maybe not suitable for high load applications
It has a very low friction co-efficient and provides a bearing medium that is very free running and exceptionally long lasting.
It is resistant to many dilute acids, solvents and cleaning agents.
It has a max operating temperature of plus 90°C and a short term operating temperature of plus 120°C.
A very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.
UHMWPE Rod can also be used for low friction pulleys because of its very low co-efficient provides a bearing medium that is very free running and exceptionally long lasting. It is often found in food production environments where high volumes of containers need to be guided along conveyors or production lines. Because it has very low moisture absorption, it is also found in some high demand areas of marine applications. It’s sometimes used in some cryogenic components due to its low operating temperature abilities.
Because of its resistance to wear and impact, UHMWPE continues to find increasing industrial applications, including the automotive and bottling sectors. Since the 1960s, it has also been the most commonly used material for total joint arthroplasty in orthopaedic and spine implants.
