Main Characteristics:
- Very good wear and abrasion resistance
- High impact strength, even at low temperatures (particularly PE-UHMW)
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Low density compared with other thermoplastics
- Low coefficient of friction
- Excellent release properties
- Very low water absorption
- Moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance
- Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except static dissipative grades)
- Excellent machinability
- Physiologically inert (several grades are suitable for food contact)
- Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays)
- Not self-extinguishing (except TIVAR Burnguard)
Grade Information:
TIVAR 1000 ASTL black [PE-UHMW + specific additives]
TIVAR 1000 ASTL, based on a PE-UHMW grade with extremely high molecular weight, has been specifically developed for tough anti-abrasion applications. TIVAR 1000 ASTL shows a higher wear and abrasion resistance and a lower surface resistivity than TIVAR 1000 ESD. The additives used also render this material static dissipative and highly UV-resistant.
