TIVAR™ Cestidur NU UHMW-PE
Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyethyleneTIVAR™ Cestidur NU UHMW-PE is a modified material with extremely high molecular weight (average 9E6 g/mol). This, in combination with a particular manufacturing process, results in a PE grade with superior wear and abrasion resistance over TIVAR™ 1000 NU UHMW-PE. TIVAR™ Cestidur NU UHMW-PE is PMUC-certified and has passed stringent tests by an EDF-approved laboratory to meet PMUC requirements for use on nuclear sites. Each shipment is accompanied with a PMUC certificate including production batch number. MCG offers a range of engineering stock shape products that hold PMUC approval from third party certified laboratories in France. PMUC is the standard for products and materials used in electric, nuclear and thermal power plants.
