UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Double-Color Sheets are innovative multilayer plastic panels that combine two distinct colored UHMWPE layers into a single, high-performance sheet. These sheets retain all the exceptional properties of standard UHMWPE—extreme wear resistance, impact strength, and chemical inertness—while adding visual differentiation for functional or aesthetic purposes.
Top Layer: Custom-colored UHMWPE for visual identification (typically 1-5mm thick)
Base Layer: Standard natural UHMWPE (white) for structural integrity
Permanent Bonding: Layers are molecularly fused during manufacturing for delamination resistance
Wear Indicators: Colored surface reveals underlying layer when worn for maintenance scheduling
Safety Marking: High-visibility colors (yellow, red, blue) for hazard zones or equipment
Branding Opportunities: Custom colors for corporate identity applications
Maintains all standard UHMWPE benefits:
15x more abrasion resistant than carbon steel
Self-lubricating (μ as low as 0.10-0.20)
FDA/USDA compliant options available
Operating range: -200°F to +180°F (-130°C to +80°C)
