Tivar® 1000 UHMW Sheet
|
Tivar 1000 UHMW sheet is the work horse of engineered plastics.Tivar 1000 UHMW natural sheet is used extensively as a wear material with huge impact strength! It is the low cost, 'entry level' material that routinely outperforms many other plastics. Because it has a water absorption rate of basically zero, Tivar 1000 UHMW can be used in moist or submerged applications where nylon would not be recommended. Tivar 1000 UHMW sheet also meets all government regulations for use in food processing and handling. (FDA, USDA, Ag Canada)
TIVAR 1000 UHMW(Ultra high molecular weight) is superior ultra high molecular weight sheet that is extremely tough as well as incredibly abrasion resistant. With very low co-efficient of friction, this material is best used in rough duty applications. As with most plastics, care must be taken when machining to ensure dimensional stability is maintained. Typical applications for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene sheet(UHMW) include; most wear applications, hopper liners, bearings, bushings, pipe saddles, conveyor guides and numerous others. Various modified forms are also used to broaden the scope of applications.
The following Tivar 1000 plate thicknesses are in stock and ready to ship: 1/16" up to 4.50". Standard sheets sizes are 4 x 8 and 4 x 10. We can cut to any size you require; you only pay for what you need!
