What is TIVAR 1000?
About TIVAR® 1000 TIVAR® 1000 offers a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low friction surface and impact strength. This material is resistant to chemical attack and moisture absorption, and retains key physical properties to -22° F. This material is FDA, USDA and 3A Dairy compliant.
Is Tivar 1000 UHMW?
Tivar® 1000 (natural) UHMW is a cost-effective solution for food handling problems, and meets FDA, USDA and 3-A Dairy guidelines for food processing and handling.
Who manufactures Tivar?
Alro Plastics – TIVAR® 1000 UHMW – The standard for engineered polymers.
What is Tivar hot?
TIVAR® H.O.T. reduces the oxidization rate of the material at higher temperatures thereby slowing material degradation and extending wear-life in chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments.
What is Tivar used for?
TIVAR® Oil Filled uses oil-filled polymers to achieve an enhanced coefficient of friction. It often is used for applications requiring higher-pressure velocity values, such as sprockets and conveyor components. TIVAR® Oil Filled also meets FDA guidelines for food processing and handling applications.
Can you injection mold UHMW?
UHMW-PE cannot be transformed and molded by conventional plastic processing techniques (injection molding, blow molding or thermoforming). Compression molding is the most common conversion process used with this resin because it produces a stronger, more consistent product.
What is Tivar UHMW?
About TIVAR ® UHMW TIVAR stands for Tough Inert Very Abrasion Resistant which are some of the key properties of UHMW. TIVAR UHMW is available in sheet, rod, tube, skived roles, custom profiles and machined parts.
Is Tivar 88 FDA approved?
is a modified UHMW-PE that is FDA and USDA approved safe for food contact and can be traced by standard metal detection equipment. TIVAR® MD has a nil moisture absorption rate reducing wear and bacterial growth.
What is Tivar 88?
Tivar® 88 is a premium lining material for bulk handling. Tivar® 88 is noted for its performance in promoting bulk solids flow of cohesive or non-free flowing materials due to its low surface friction.
What is Tivar eco plate?
UHMW TIVAR® ECO is plastic material suitable for machinery components, wear plates and guides. Depending on the application, UHMW ECO has an overall lower mechanical strength (90%) than the virgin TIVAR® 1000. This grade, partially composed of reprocessed PE-UHMW material can be machined easily.
Is Tivar anti static?
TIVAR® ESD is an ideal material to use when potentially volatile conditions exist, such as those in grain elevators and munitions plants, effectively safeguarding against static discharges.
Does UHMW swell?
Water absorption rate of UHMW is almost zero, therefore its strength does not deteriorate due to swelling caused by water absorption.
