Quadrant EPP TIVAR® H.O.T. PE-UHMW + specific additives (ISO Data)

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 Very good wear and abrasion resistance High impact strength, even at low temperatures (particularly UHMW-PE) Excellent chemical resistance Low density compared with other thermoplastics Low coefficient of friction Excellent release properties Very low water absorption Moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except static dissipative grades) Excellent machinability Physiologically inert (several grades are suitable for food contact) Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays) Not self-extinguishing (except TIVAR Burnguard)
