In many cases, the customer’s only alternative was to use standard HDPE, which lacks the durability of UHMW in most applications. So the King team created King Hy-Pact® VH (very high molecular weight polyethylene), a unique product designed to be a perfect complement to UHMW and to bridge the wide performance gap between HDPE and UHMW.

When used properly, King Hy-Pact VH allows distributors and manufacturers to reduce costs while suffering no performance loss.

Naturally, good design practices dictate that new applications should always be tested before full-scale operations begin.

General Applications:

  • King Hy-Pact VH is environmentally stabilized, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor applications.
  • FDA and USDA approved, with an opaque, white color for a sanitary look.
  • Standard sheet sizes from 1/8″ to 1″ in thickness – with some of the tightest tolerances in the industry.
  • Available standard in 48″ x 120″ sheets or in custom sizes up to 72″ wide and up to 120 feet long, which often saves on installation costs and eliminates the need for splices.
  • Smooth, non-skived finish has a low friction coefficient for better material flow and superior cosmetics compared to UHMW.
  • Not affected by most aqueous acids, alkalis or salt solutions
  • Extremely flat, low-strain sheet made with King Plastic Corporation’s state-of-the art proprietary K-Stran® process.
  • Resistant to caking and bridging (build-up).
  • Suitable for deep-freeze or electrical insulation operations
