General Info
TIVAR® H.O.T. UHMW-PE (HIGHER OPERATING TEMPERATURE) excels in a variety of industrial manufacturing environments where temperatures reach up to 275°F. TIVAR® H.O.T. UHMW-PE reduces oxidation rate at higher temperatures, slows degradation and extends wear-life in chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments. TIVAR® H.O.T. UHMW-PE meets FDA/USDA guidelines and is 3-A Dairy Sanitation compliant, making it the ideal, longer life material for wear parts in dairy, bakery, poultry/meat and other food processing industries where higher temperatures or frequent chemical wash downs shorten part life.
