GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Polyethylenes provide good resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack. They have high impact strength, are light in weight, resistant to staining, and have low moisture absorption rates.

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW PE) is light weight (1/8 the weight of mild steel), high in tensile strength, and as simple to machine as wood. UHMW PE is self-lubricating, shatter resistant, long-wearing, abrasion and corrosion resistant. However, it is a tremendous static generator.

Tivar® 1000 AntiStatic is manufactured by adding carbon powder to the resin, increasing the conductivity of UHMW to control static electricity formation or conduction.

Tivar® 1000 AntiStatic is available in BLACK color only.

( see also Standard Polyethylene Specifications )

Static Dissipative / Anti-Static (SD) :
Resistivity generally between 107 and 1012 ohms per square.
Initial electrostatic charges are suppressed.

Conductive (CN) :
Resistivity generally between 103 and 106 ohms per square.
No initial charge, provides path for charge to bleed off.
