TIVAR™ Oil Filled UHMW-PE
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
TIVAR™ Oil Filled UHMW-PE is an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene material that truly lives up to the self-lubricating description. In addition to enhancing the
wear resistance of the material, the incorporated and evenly dispersed oil gives this material a considerably lower coefficient of friction than standard UHMW-PE products. It excels in conveying equipment, yielding a significant reduction in the required driving force as well as noise reduction. TIVAR™ Oil Filled UHMW-PE also offers an FDA food contact compliant composition.
