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
Grade Information:
TIVAR ECO green / black antistatic [PE-UHMW]
This grade, partially composed of reprocessed PE-UHMW material, has an overall lower property level than the virgin TIVAR 1000 and a lower cost. Compared with virgin PE 500, however, it has a much better impact strength and wear resistance. Our TIVAR ECO grade shows a favorable price-performance ratio for applications in many kinds of industries with less demanding requirements. |
