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

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
UHMWPE is odourless, tasteless, and nontoxic
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 UV radiation, and micro-organisms.
UHMWPE only becomes brittle at temperatures below −150°C.
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 UV radiation, and micro-organisms.
UHMWPE only becomes brittle at temperatures below −150°C.
Its melting point is around 130°C to 136°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

UHMWPE rod has an incredible resistance to abrasion and can outperform almost any engineering plastic in this regard.
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.

A very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.
Because UHMWPE rod has excellent abrasion resistance it is often used for sand, gravel or aggregate process applications. These environments are incredibly harsh on any bearing material but UHMWPE is one of the few engineering plastics capable of withstanding such punishing abuse.
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.

High speed steel tooling is recommended with lots of back rake, side rake and clearances, and a generous nose radius. Use caution when turning UHMWPE as the chips will be continuous and tend to wrap around the tooling so a “pecking action” is advised.
UHMWPE does not absorb water readily, nor wet easily, which makes bonding it to other polymers difficult.
Natural grade UHMWPE is FDA approved to be used in food applications.
UHMWPE rod is highly resistant to abrasion, in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel.
It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals except oxidizing acids.
Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal, and is comparable to that of PTFE, or Teflon. Skin does not interact with it strongly, making the surface feel slippery, almost waxy.
We stock UHMWPE rod in diameters of 20mm up to 200mm. It is available in natural opaque colour (often described as white) or black.
This engineering plastic has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction which offers superb sliding properties and is one of the best materials for wear and abrasion resistance. It is tough even at low temperatures, it offers low weight, and is easy to weld.
This engineering plastic can be machined into virtually anything, from small (low load)gears and bearings to huge sprockets-shapes that until recently were only possible with metals. It not only outperforms metal in abrasion applications, it's also easier to machine and therefore cheaper. This versatile plastic can be milled, planed, sawed, drilled, and turned to create a huge variety of parts at a very competitive price. It possesses outstanding abrasion resistance, superior impact resistance, non-sticking and self-lubricating and excellent mechanical properties, even in cryogenic conditions.
