UHMW Polyethylene Grades
Antistatic
Anti-static UHMW-PE is designed to reduce static discharge, which is critical in environments where static could damage sensitive components or cause safety hazards. Common applications include conveyor guards and chain guides in technology manufacturing or packaging.
Ceram-P
TIVAR® Ceram-P is engineered for extreme wear resistance and high tensile strength, making it suitable for high-load and high-speed applications, including agricultural machinery and lumber processing equipment. It excels under heavy, abrasive conditions.
Dryslide
TIVAR® DrySlide is specially formulated for dry, dusty environments needing electrostatic dissipation. It's great for industries such as food processing where moving parts need to handle gritty substances without accumulating static electricity. Typical uses include chute liners and conveyor systems.
Eco-Grade
Eco-Grade UHMW-PE is made from recycled materials, signaling cost-efficiency while maintaining durability and abrasion resistance. It's typically used in environmentally-conscious applications like wear pads, rollers, and various conveyor system parts.
HOT
TIVAR® H.O.T. can withstand continuous temperatures up to 275°F while being FDA-compliant, making it ideal for food processing industries where high-temperature and hygienic conditions are necessary, particularly in conveyor systems.
HPV
This variant is FDA-compliant and designed for applications requiring reduced friction, high wear resistance, and high operational speeds, like high-speed food processing belts.
LUBRICATED
Lubricated UHMW-PE incorporates oil to cut down on friction and noise, improving the lifespan and performance of parts within conveyor systems and industrial machinery that deal with constant movement.
Metal Detectable
Metal detectable UHMW-PE is pivotal in the food processing industry because it allows foreign particles to be identified easily by metal detectors, thus ensuring safety. It's FDA-compliant and used for conveyor parts that come into direct contact with food.
MPG
Polystone® MPG is known for its high impact resistance and non-stick surface, which is perfect for lining chutes and hoppers in environments that are cold and sticky but also abrasive.
Oil Filled
Oil-filled UHMW-PE improves lubrication and wear resistance for demanding applications, effectively reducing operational force and noise. It is commonly used in heavy-duty industrial settings.
Reprocessed
Reprocessed UHMW-PE offers a cost-effective solution for non-food-related applications. It features low friction and moisture resistance, making it ideal for conveyor guides, scraper blades, and similar uses.
Tivar 88
TIVAR® 88 is suited to outdoor or dusty environments requiring low friction and high UV resistance. It's primarily used in lining chutes and conveyor liners dealing with abrasive materials.
UV
UV-resistant UHMW-PE resists degradation from sunlight, maintaining its properties in harsh weather. It's used where long-lasting durability and low friction are paramount, such as outdoor conveyance systems.
Virgin
Virgin UHMW-PE is lightweight, durable, and resistant to chemicals, crucial for applications where reducing noise and wear is necessary, such as wear strips and various conveyor parts.
Virgin FDA Approved
Virgin FDA-approved UHMW-PE meets stringent FDA standards, making it perfect for food processing. It combines the benefits of being lightweight, durable, and resistant to chemicals with the assurance of hygiene and safety.
