About Baron Plastics
Our own process.
Our own machines.
UHMW-PE is hard to process, and standard plastics equipment cannot handle it. Baron designs and builds its own continuous extrusion lines for sheets and rods, and runs them with automated feeding and cutting. The same lines are now being built in Brazil for the Tampa plant.
- Extrusion lines designed and built in-house by the Baron group
- A process that uses no oil, gas or water
- High molecular weight grades only, for abrasion resistance and low friction
- FDA compliant materials
- Parent company in Brazil certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
Products
From semi-finished stock
to parts ready to install.
Rods
Extruded UHMW-PE rods for bushings, rollers, wear strips and machined components.
- Diameter from 25 mm to 300 mm
- One mold per diameter
- Ready for machining
Machined parts and liners
Parts made to your drawing, and liner systems designed with our engineering team for chutes, hoppers and truck beds.
- Made to customer specification
- Engineering support when there is no spec
- Installation support for liner systems

Applications
Liners that keep
material moving.
Real installations by the Baron group: UHMW-PE liners cut, drilled and fitted to each piece of equipment.
Industries
Where wear and friction
cost the most.
UHMW-PE combines high wear and impact resistance with a low coefficient of friction. It keeps bulk materials such as ore, sand, coal, wood chips and fertilizer moving, and it cuts noise and downtime.
Mining
Chute and hopper liners, transfer points and conveyor components.
Ports and bulk handling
Ship and storage liners and fender pads.
Rail and trucking
Liners for railcars and dump truck beds that stop carry-back.
Fertilizer and agriculture
Silo, bin and handling-system linings for corrosive and sticky products.
Machine builders
Wear strips, guides, gears and custom parts for OEM equipment.
Food and bottling
FDA compliant material for conveyors, guides and star wheels.
Tampa 2028
A UHMW-PE plant in the Southeast.
Most UHMW-PE producers in North America are in the Northeast. Our Tampa plant will put sheet, rod and machined-part production closer to customers in the Southeast and the Gulf region.
