Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet is a low-water-absorption engineering plastic sheet developed for industrial equipment where wear resistance, low friction and reduction of static-charge accumulation are required.
The material combines excellent abrasion resistance, high impact strength, self-lubricating performance, chemical resistance and very low moisture absorption. It is suitable for conveyor guides, sliding plates, machine components, wear pads, electronic-production fixtures and CNC-machined industrial parts.
Blue, black and other project-specified colors are available according to the selected antistatic formulation. Full sheets, cut blanks and finished parts can be manufactured with holes, grooves, slots, steps and complex CNC-machined profiles.
Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet is a modified engineering plastic sheet manufactured from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. It is designed for industrial equipment requiring wear resistance, low friction, impact strength, low moisture absorption and reduced accumulation of static electricity.
PE1000 is a commonly used European designation for UHMWPE sheet material. The long molecular-chain structure gives the material excellent toughness, resistance to sliding wear and a naturally low-friction working surface.
An antistatic formulation adds a controlled static-dissipation function to the base UHMWPE material. Depending on the formulation, antistatic performance can be achieved through internal additives, conductive fillers or another project-specified modification system.
The product can be supplied as a complete molded sheet, cut-to-size plate, equipment guide, sliding panel, wear block, fixture plate or finished CNC-machined component. Through holes, blind holes, countersinks, counterbores, slots, grooves, steps and special outside profiles can be processed according to customer drawings.

An Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet is a solid thermoplastic engineering panel manufactured from a modified ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene formulation.
Standard unmodified UHMWPE is normally an electrical insulator. Friction between the sheet and products, chains, belts, films, powders or machinery parts can generate static charge. An antistatic formulation is used to reduce the tendency of this charge to accumulate on the material surface.
The material retains the main advantages of UHMWPE, including wear resistance, impact strength, low friction, self-lubricating performance and low water absorption, while providing a specified level of electrical resistance or static dissipation.
The terms antistatic, static-dissipative and conductive should not automatically be treated as identical. Each category may require a different electrical-resistance range, test voltage, conditioning method and system design.
The required resistance value and test method should therefore be stated on the drawing, purchase order or technical agreement before production.
UHMWPE absorbs very little moisture and does not normally swell significantly during routine humidity, water exposure or periodic washing. This makes the material suitable for humid workshops and equipment exposed to occasional water contact.
For this product, the term “water-resistant” describes low water absorption and resistance to moisture exposure. It does not mean that the sheet or finished component has automatically passed an IP waterproof-enclosure test.
The waterproof performance of a completed assembly also depends on joints, seals, fasteners, openings, mounting holes and surrounding equipment structures.
When plastics slide against other materials, static electricity can be generated through friction and separation. A modified PE1000 formulation helps charge dissipate more effectively than standard insulating UHMWPE.
This can reduce dust attraction, static shocks and uncontrolled charge accumulation around moving products and industrial equipment.
Some antistatic formulations use additives distributed through the polymer. These additives modify electrical behavior at or near the material surface.
The effectiveness of additive-based antistatic performance can depend on formulation, humidity, temperature, surface condition and service time.
Selected formulations may use conductive fillers to create a more stable electrical pathway through the material.
Conductive filler systems can affect color, density, mechanical properties, machining behavior and surface appearance. Black is common for carbon-filled grades, although blue and other colors may be possible with alternative formulations.
An antistatic sheet alone does not guarantee that the complete machine or production area meets an ESD-control standard.
The final system may also require suitable grounding, conductive fasteners, controlled contact points, flooring, personnel protection, humidity management and verification testing after installation.
An antistatic grade is designed to reduce static-charge generation and accumulation compared with standard insulating UHMWPE.
It is suitable for applications where dust attraction, product sticking or mild static buildup needs to be reduced.
A static-dissipative grade provides a controlled pathway for charge to move through or across the material.
This option may be selected for electronic assembly fixtures, automation components and equipment near electrostatic-sensitive products.
A conductive grade has lower electrical resistance than antistatic or dissipative materials and is intended to transfer charge more readily.
Conductive material must be connected to an appropriate grounding system when grounding is required by the equipment design.
No fixed resistance value should be assumed from the product name, color or appearance. The following items should be confirmed before manufacturing:
The modified formulation helps reduce static-charge accumulation caused by friction, product movement and repeated contact with machinery components.
This can help reduce dust attraction, static shocks, material sticking and interference around selected production processes.
Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet is suitable for equipment exposed to continuous sliding, rubbing and abrasive contact.
It can be used with conveyor chains, belts, containers, packaging materials, powders, granules and moving machinery parts.
Actual service life depends on load, sliding speed, abrasive contamination, mating-surface condition, operating temperature and installation quality.
The tough UHMWPE structure helps the sheet withstand repeated impact and mechanical vibration without easily cracking under suitable operating conditions.
This makes it suitable for equipment stops, support pads, guides, protective plates and material-handling components.
The smooth PE1000 surface helps reduce resistance between products and machinery structures.
Lower friction can support smoother product movement and help reduce dragging, scratching, sticking and direct contact with rough metal surfaces.
Many sliding components manufactured from PE1000 can operate without continuous oil or grease lubrication.
This can simplify maintenance and reduce the accumulation of grease, dust and contaminants around the working area.
Whether additional lubrication is required depends on load, speed, contact pressure, mating material and operating temperature.
PE1000 absorbs very little moisture compared with many conventional engineering plastics. Routine humidity, occasional washing and water exposure do not normally cause substantial swelling.
This supports use in humid production areas, beverage equipment, washing environments and selected outdoor machinery.
Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet does not rust and resists many commonly encountered acids, alkalis, salts and industrial chemicals.
Chemical compatibility should be evaluated separately for strong oxidizing agents, specialized solvents, concentrated chemicals and elevated-temperature process media.
Installing PE1000 between moving products and metal structures can help reduce direct metal-contact noise, vibration and mechanical shock.
Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet can be cut, planed, drilled, turned, milled, grooved and CNC-machined.
It can be processed into complex fixtures, guide blocks, positioning plates, wear pads, conveyor parts and equipment-specific plastic components.

The dimensions listed above are common manufacturing options rather than guaranteed combinations. Maximum sheet length, width, thickness and electrical uniformity cannot always be achieved together in one product.
Modified antistatic formulations may have different molding, cooling and machining requirements from standard UHMWPE. Final dimensions should be confirmed according to material formulation, mold capacity, thickness, electrical specification, required flatness and transportation conditions.
Relatively thin sheets are suitable for equipment surfaces, lightweight guides, protective plates, electronic fixtures and supported wear liners.
Thin panels normally require continuous or closely spaced structural support.
This thickness range is commonly selected for conveyor guides, tooling plates, positioning fixtures, sliding panels and general machinery components.
Thicker plates provide additional impact resistance and machining allowance for holes, grooves, steps, recesses and equipment-specific structures.
Thick plates can be processed into support blocks, fixture bodies, guide components and deeply machined industrial parts.
Extra-thick antistatic blanks can be evaluated for large components requiring deep three-dimensional machining.
Overall panel dimensions may need to be reduced as thickness increases. Electrical-property uniformity must also be confirmed across the finished component.
Material color does not independently confirm antistatic performance. A blue sheet may be standard insulating UHMWPE, antistatic UHMWPE or another modified formulation.
Likewise, black material may contain carbon-based conductive additives, but black color alone does not prove a specified resistance value.
The material grade, formulation code and electrical test results should be used to verify the required performance.
Where strict blue color matching is required, the customer should provide a physical sample, Pantone reference, RAL reference or another agreed color standard.
PE1000 has very low water absorption and is suitable for many humid or wet working environments.
However, electrical performance can be influenced by the selected antistatic system, surface contamination, humidity, temperature and cleaning chemicals.
The following conditions should be stated before material selection:
Antistatic PE1000 UHMWPE Sheet can be supplied as a full panel, cut blank or finished CNC-machined component.
Available processing services include:
Machining can change the surface condition and expose material from different depths within the sheet. Electrical testing should therefore be performed on the finished surface when the final component requires a specified resistance range.
Coolants, oils, cleaning agents, polishing compounds and surface contamination can temporarily influence electrical measurements.
The inspection method should state whether the component is tested as molded, after machining, after cleaning or after environmental conditioning.
UHMWPE also expands and contracts more than most metals when temperature changes. Final tolerances should consider component size, operating temperature and mounting structure.
Antistatic PE1000 components can be installed using countersunk bolts, recessed fasteners, clamps, backing plates or equipment-specific fixing structures.
If the system requires charge dissipation to ground, the component must have a reliable electrical path to an appropriate grounding point.
Painted, insulated or contaminated metal surfaces may interrupt the grounding path. Conductive contact points, fasteners and grounding straps should be designed according to the complete ESD-control system.
Suitable thermal-expansion clearance should be provided around panel edges, mounting holes and joints.
Fasteners should not be excessively tightened because concentrated pressure can deform PE1000 around the mounting position.
Quality inspection can be completed according to customer drawings and agreed technical requirements. Typical inspection items include:
