TIVAR® 1000 UHMW: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
TIVAR® 1000 UHMW is an excellent general-purpose plastic that is a cost-effective solution and meets USDA, FDA and 3-A Dairy guidelines for food processing and handling. TIVAR 1000 UHMW has a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low friction surface and impact strength. It is resistant to chemical attack and moisture absorption, and retains key physical properties to -30 C.
-
Reduces noise
-
Self-lubricating
-
No moisture absorption
-
Non-toxic, low-friction surface
-
Meets ASTM-D-4020-81 of 4.0 to 5.4- million molecular weight
-
Meets FDA and USDA guidelines; 3-A Dairy-approved (natural)
-
Chemical-, corrosion- and wear-resistant
TIVAR® HOT
Developed specifically to excel in chemical and thermocycling environments with temperatures ranging up to 275° F, *TIVAR® H.O.T. is fast becoming the material of choice for baking, food processing & packaging, conveyor manufacturing, grain processing and many other major industries, where temperatures are too high for standard TIVAR®, but well below the need for Teflon, or other thermoplastics.
FDA/USDA-compliant, TIVAR® H.O.T. can be used as wearstrips in proofing ovens or food dehydrators; seals for pasturizers, chemical and medical processing equipment; rollers and sprockets in food processing equipment, and grain drag flights - just to mention a few common applications.
-
Extends material wear-life
-
Excels in supported applications up to 275° F when standard UHMW break down
-
Lasts up to 10 times longer than standard UHMW in higher temperature environments
-
Resists abrasion, corrosion, chemicals and moisture
-
Meets FDA guidelines 21CFR 178.2010 and 21CFR 177.1520 USDA compliant
-
Exhibits excellent release characteristics
TIVAR® AntiStatic: Anti Static UHMW
TIVAR® AntiStatic UHMW is ideal for potentially volatile conditions, such as those in grain elevators and munitions plants. It effectively safeguards against static discharges, resists heat and protects equipment that is sensitive to dust and electrical charge buildup.
-
Protects against electrical charge build-up
-
Reduces noise
-
Self-lubricating
-
Corrosion-resistant
-
No moisture absorption
Tivar® Oil Filled: Oil Filled UHMW
TIVAR® Oil Filled UHMW is the material of choice for bottling, packaging and food processing applications requiring FDA and USDA compliance. It uses oil filled polymers to lubricate mating surfaces with a dynamic coefficient of friction formula of less than 0.14. With TIVAR® Oil Filled UHMW, conveyors operate more efficiently and sprockets, conveyor components and chains move with less tension, stretching or binding.
-
Meets FDA and USDA guidelines
-
Reduces noise
-
Self-lubricating
-
Corrosion-resistant
-
No moisture absorption
