TIVAR H.O.T. [UHMW-PE + specific additives; colour: bright-white]

TIVAR® H.O.T.

TIVAR H.O.T. [Higher Operating Temperature] is formulated to maintain inherent PE-UHMW key properties over an extended service temperature range, in this way considerably increasing part life in low load bearing applications up to temperatures as high as 125°C. Special additives reduce the oxidation rate of the material at higher temperatures thereby slowing down material degradation and extending wear-life. TIVAR H.O.T. also features a food contact compliant composition.

  • keyboard_arrow_downProduct Description

    • Inhibits oxidation, extends material wear-life
    • Extended operating temperature range
    • Abrasion-, corrosion-, chemical- and moisture-resistant
    • Excellent release characteristics
    • Meets FDA guidelines, USDA and 3-A Dairy compliant

    Formulated to maintain key performance properties in an extended temperature range, TIVAR® H.O.T. will excel in a variety of industrial manufacturing environments where temperatures range up to 275° F, nearly 100 higher than competing UHMW-PE formulations. TIVAR® H.O.T. reduces the oxidization rate of the material at higher temperatures thereby slowing material degradation and extending wear-life in chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments. In many applications, TIVAR® H.O.T. will last up to 10 times longer in higher temperature environments and has excellent wear and release characteristics

    TIVAR® H.O.T. is also a great material for use in conveyor systems or other equipment that is frequently exposed to chemical washdowns in such industries as poultry/meat processing and packaging. It can be also be used in applications ranging from wearstrips for spiral conveyors in the baking industry to drag conveyor flights for moving bulk materials in grain elevators, or wearstrips for conveyor dryers in drying and dehydrating systems.

Improved Wear Resistance

DrySlide TECH Cestidur/DS Ceram P
TIVAR® DrySlide [UHMW-PE, color: black]

TIVAR® DrySlide

Thanks to the lubricant built into a PE-UHMW matrix with higher molecular weight, TIVAR DrySlide offers a lower coefficient of friction and enhanced wear and abrasion resistance than TIVAR 1000. The additives used also make this material static dissipative and considerably improve UV-resistance.

  • keyboard_arrow_downProduct Details

    • Electro Static Dissipative
    • Ideal for dusty environments
    • Helps reduce surging
    • Won't mar packaging or products
    • Corrosion-resistant
    • Self-lubricating 
    • Reduces noise
    • No moisture absorption

    The enhanced coefficient of friction and anti-static properties make TIVAR DrySlide an excellent performer in dusty environments. Even damp boxes or parcels covered in shrink-wrap won't stick to TIVAR DrySlide. In addition, the enhanced surface lubricity won't mar packaging or products, but allow them to move freely without jamming from dirt, grit or static build-up.

  • Abrasion-, chemical- and corrosion-resistant
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • No moisture absorption
  • Reduces or eliminates arching, ratholing and erractic flow

  • keyboard_arrow_downProduct Details

    Recognized worldwide as the premium lining material for bulk material handling, TIVAR 88 is noted for its performance in promoting bulk solids flow of cohesive or non-free flowing materials due to its low surface friction. TIVAR 88 liners are the perfect solution when you need to reduce or eliminate arching, ratholing and erratic material flow challenges in bins, bunkers, hoppers and chutes, railcars, etc. Although every application is unique, some have specific environmental challenges. Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials has developed several proprietary formulation packages for TIVAR 88 that enhance certain properties without negatively impacting TIVAR 88's key properties.

    UV Resistant
    For applications in outdoor environments that receive high exposure to ultra violet rays, TIVAR 88 UV Resistant prevents premature degradation of material.
