TIVAR HPV Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene UHMW-PE is a FDA 21 CFR § 177.1520 compliant , bearing grade with a built in dry lubricant that gives finished components a Coefficient of Friction (COF) reduction rate of up to 80%. The superior sliding performance of TIVAR HPV UHMW-PE shapes make it a favored solution for chain guides, sliding strips, rollers, single and multiple corner wear bends, and straight guides, and improve the sliding behavior of these parts at key touch points in conveyor systems. For high-precision applications, this is vital as longer productive cycles between maintenance and shorter downtimes allow these systems to run smoothly with less interruption.
