How to Clean UHMWPE Outrigger Pads After Jobsite Use

Overview

This guide covers the practical steps to clean uhmwpe outrigger pads after jobsite use. JSLT GroundMat produces engineering plastic components in UHMWPE, HDPE, PA, POM and PTFE — full-process fabrication from raw sheet to CNC-machined parts.

Step-by-step procedure

1. Scrape soil with plastic edge. Avoid steel scrapers — they gouge pad surface.
2. Power wash with cold water. Cold water OK; hot water above 70°C softens UHMWPE.
3. Inspect for cracks or gouges. Document any damage; replace pad if cracks visible.
4. Dry before stacking. Wet pads in stack can adhere over weeks.
5. Store flat and shaded. UV exposure over years degrades surface; shaded storage preferred.
