Polyslick® UHMW Sheet exhibits the properties of excellent impact strength, abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, as well as very good chemical resistance. This industrial grade material is also moisture, stain and odor resistant, and is FDA approved to be used in the food processing industry. The material is ideally suited for wear applications especially in contact with metals. UHMW is widely used in industrial applications such as chute linings, dock bumpers, paper machine parts, and conveyor wear strips and can easily be machined with ordinary wood working tools.

The material is manufactured by extruding one color on the inside and a contrasting color on the outside. The layers are combined while the material is still molten. The result is a homogeneous 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. Densetec® Sign Board is easily routed or engraved using current CNC router technology. As the skin of the material is removed by the router, the inside color shows through and, voila, a sign is easily fabricated with minimum finishing requirements. The material does not have to be painted because the color is embedded into the sheet. 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.

Densetec® Post Consumer is a 98% (2% color) post consumer product that can be used in a variety of applications. Densetec® Post Consumer is manufactured using a HDPE resin that has been compounded and processed from products such as detergent bottles and/or milk jugs that have been saved from our nation's land fills. Densetec® Post Consumer is Polymer Industries contribution to the “Green Movement” and can be produced for a minimum run, per color, per thickness. Densetec® Post Consumer is manufactured in sheet form or can be fabricated to customer requirements, and can be used to produce products such as Marine Board, Playground Board, Sign Board and Partition Board. Densetec® Post Consumer exhibits virtually the same properties as those of standard HDPE. It is easily fabricated, routed or engraved using current CNC technology. This material can be produced with or without a textured surface. It can be produced using any of Polymer's many stock colors and can be produced with a UV stabilizer making it the perfect choice for outdoor environments. It is an excellent replacement for wood, and because the color is embedded in the sheet, it never needs painting and is also vandal resistant. The versatile properties of Densetec® Post Consumer make it the ideal product for any application that standard HDPE can be used. Polymer Industries has committed considerable resources to the environmental reclamation of HDPE and the development of a product that does not sacrifice the integrity of the application in which it is used. We are proud to be able to offer to our customers and to these industries our “Green ” offering of Densetec® Post Consumer.

POLYSLICK BUS CURB is a custom formulated synthetic fender designed to reduce street curb and transit station curb damage as well as reduce damage to bus wheels and tires. Damage typically occurs when drivers are executing "precision or close docking". This safety oriented action is required to reduce the gap between the curb or station platform and the boarding floor of the bus. POLYSLICK BUS CURB allows busses to impact and glide smoothly along the curb face achieving a minimal and safer boarding gap while protecting the curb and bus. Our standard high visibility colors are consistent and UV stabilized throughout the material so they permanently enforce the bus zone. No more painting!.

Providing a means of protection for employees and customers amid the pandemic crisis is important. Our ClearGuard Barrier Panels are engineered to maintain a needed barrier for high traffic areas.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® LDPE Sheet is a material that's soft, flexible, and tough, even at low temperatures. Because of the fact that Densetec® LDPE has very good formability traits and is very pliable, it is an ideal material for the orthotics and prosthetics industry. Densetec® LDPE has very good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption which makes it ideal for the chemical industry. Densetec® LDPE also has exceptional environmental stress crack resistance properties.

Polymer Industries integrates the antimicrobial protection into the product during the manufacturing process. Our antimicrobial material kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms caused by bacteria, algae and fungi. Our products are also non-porous and kill the spread of bacteria resistant to moisture and mildew. The need to combat infectious diseases continues to increase in all commercial applications. Healthcare facilities and public venues are ideal locations for antimicrobial surfaces. In addition, antimicrobial surfaces are needed in food preparation areas, with food processing equipment and on industrial cutting surfaces. These products limit bacteria growth improving the hygiene of surfaces. Antibacterial products are created by incorporating an antibacterial agent (biocide) to suppress the growth of bacteria on the surfaces of products through a process called zone inhibition to control growth of bacteria, fungus and algae. Unlike surface antimicrobials, the advanced antimicrobial technology protects against bacterial degradation for the lifetime of the product. Antimicrobial products are treated with an antimicrobial agent to inhibit bacterial or fungal growth and are resistant to deterioration by mold, fungus or mildew. Studies have shown that surfaces with antimicrobial technology can inhibit the the amount of certain product-damaging bacteria by 99%. Disclaimer: Products prepared according to ASTM standards. This product does not protect users from diseases. Always clean surfaces thoroughly with household disinfectant.

Densetec® Playground Board is making a big splash in the playground industry. The variety of bright contrasting colors make it perfectly suited to this environment where high impact colors are required. Because the color is embedded in the sheet, it never needs painting. Especially with the rigors and abuse that children inflict upon playground equipment, this material lasts much longer than wood. The versatile properties of Densetec® Playground Board make it virtually vandal resistant. The UV stabilizers added to the material make the colors fade-resistant and the standard properties of the HDPE used in the production of Densetec® Playground Board make it weather-resistant and the perfect choice for outdoor environments. Design potential is unlimited with Densetec® Playground Board. Polymer Industries welcomes custom orders. We can assist you in your design and engineering requirements.

Traditional wooden cutting boards are no match for boards fabricated with Densetec® Cutting Board from Polymer Industries. Wood and other materials absorb bacteria, splinter, chip, swell, peel, rot, warp, bend and crack. Densetec® Cutting Board eliminates those problems, substantially outlasting cutting boards made from materials other than HDPE. Densetec® Cutting Board is engineered for durability, low maintenance and safety. Its textured, matte surface safely holds food in place without slipping. The "natural" bright white color is favored for its sanitary look. Knives stay sharp when cutting on Densetec® Cutting Board. Instead of striking a rigid surface that dulls the blade, Densetec® Cutting Board gives on contact. Because of its unique molecular structure, cuts seal and become indiscernible. Over time, using Densetec® Cutting Board can lead to significant savings when compared with other materials. Densetec® colored cutting board is the perfect choice to help prevent cross contamination of food borne pathogens such as salmonella and E-coli. By color coding the food to the color of the cutting board such as blue for fish, red for red meat, yellow for poultry, etc., the risk of spreading these dangerous microorganisms is greatly diminished.

Polyslick® UHMW Rod exhibits all of the durable qualities of our Polyslick® UHMW Sheet making it perfect for the application where sheet stock is not suitable. The material is ideally suited for the manufacture of bushings, bearings, rollers, and augers as there is much less wasted material than if the material was made out of sheet stock. Polyslick® UHMW Rod is available in up to 10 inches in diameter and is available out of stock in natural virgin and black reprocessed grades.
