White HDPE plastic
« on: 11/19/07 - 06:34PM »
Does anyone work with HDPE white plastic that has some scrap laying around?  I need a couple of pieces at least 1" thick and 3-4" round or square.  I can cut/ mill to the size I need.  I want to use this material as it's considered self lubricating as it wears when used in a friction application.

Thanks,
Keith

I know I can get this from PolyFab, but they want $25 for some small scrap.  I wanna try this for cheaper, and yeah, I've checked eBay; $15 for 1-1/2" x 6" x 24". I might have to go that route.

 Who's your Daddy?
Got some, Ill measure it and post a pic on saturday. It might be UHMW, or HDPE, or it may be Delrin. I m not sure, but I can lop you off a couple of pices. One way or another, the price is right.
Gimme an exact measurement of what you need.

A 4" by 8" piece would work.

Thanks,

I may have found a new way to spell quote.

Yeah, I think that plastic did come from the east.

Let me know Sanchez.

This is not for a Jeep, but for a snow plow to use as skid shoes so they don't scratch concrete and asphalt.  The HDPE should also slide much easier than steel shoes.  I don't know how long they might last like that, but as little snow we get it will be worth a shot.

That's cool Dick, whenever.  Looks like we may never get any real measurable snow anyway...
