TIVAR® H.O.T. (Higher Operating Temperatures)
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°F higher than competing UHMW-PE formulations).
Due to the material's ability to inhibit the oxidation process, Tivar H.O.T. applications demonstrate extended life in chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments. The result is a material that lasts up to 10 times longer in higher temperature environments and has excellent wear, machinability and release characteristics. This material is FDA compliant.
Applications
- Chain guides
- Conveyor components
- Drying equipment
- Machined parts
- Wearstrips, pads, and plates
Industries
- Baking
- Conveyor Manufacturing
- Drying equipment
- Machined parts
- Wear strips, pads, and plates
Strengths
- Inhibits oxidation and extends material wear-life
- Extends operating temperature range
- Abrasion, corrosion, chemical, and moisture resistant
- Excellent release characteristics
- Meets FDA guidelines 21CFR 178.2010 and 21CFR 177.1520, USDA compliant
