TIVAR® UHMW-PE Speciality Materials (EU)

TIVAR® UHMW-PE Speciality Materials (EU)

• 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)
