UHMW typically has warp, bow and creep, especially in thinner sizes. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene.
TIVAR®
1000 UHMW sets the standard for engineered polymers with a unique
combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low friction surface and
impact strength.
TIVAR® 1000 is resistant to chemical attack and moisture absorption, and retains key physical properties to -30°C.
An
excellent general-purpose material, TIVAR® 1000 is a cost-effective
solution for food handling problems, and meets FDA, USDA and 3-A Dairy
guidelines for food processing and handling.
TIVAR® formulations
are recognized worldwide for their wear and corrosion resistance, low
friction surface and impact strength. TIVAR® can outperform stainless
steel, yet it weighs
only 1/8 as much. It can also handle wide
temperature ranges making it ideal for use on freezing lines or on lines
with intermittent temperatures up to 212°F (100°C).
