Visual, Metal and X-ray detectiable grade
This UHMW-PE grade with extremely high degree of polymerisation contains a metal detectable additive which hardly affects the inherent UHMW-PE key properties. TIVAR® VMX presents excellent toughness and impact strength, an even improved wear and abrasion resistance when compared with TIVAR® 1000. It also features a food contact compliant composition.
TIVAR® VMX has been specifically tailored for use in the food processing and packaging industries where it can easily be traced by the conventional metal and X-ray detection systems installed to detect contamination of the foodstuffs (results may vary depending on the sensitivity of the detection system used).
