UHMW

UHMW are slippery materials which resist abrasion and compression. Few products can adhere to them and their thermal expansion is superior to other thermoplastics. Relatively malleable, they are excellent electric insulators and they can be welded by a thermoplastic welding process. Models are available in colours and formats such as natural (white), antistatic, UV resistant autolubricating, recycled and high-temperature. In standard form, their heat resistance is 82 °C (180 °F).

UHMW ECO

UHMW ECO is used for guides, wear parts and other components within machinery to reduce abrasion and prolong equipment life. It is frequently used in the mining, forestry and food & beverage industries.

Easy to machine, the UHMW ECO is made of combination of recycled UHMW-PE and virgin UHMWand is offered in marbled black. It is known for its self lubricating properties, its low coefficient of friction coefficient and impact resistance. It is also easy to machine and can withstand low temperatures

Strips and tubes are available upon request.

Depending on the application, UHMW ECO will still have 90 % of the mechanical properties found in the basic UHMW; ask our consultants about specific applications. UHMW is available in several formulations (additives) : 90, SXL, SL and TL, Tivar® 1000 (antistatic, recycled), Tivar® 88 (Ceram P® and special DS), DrySlide®, Dock Guard, Clean STAT ™, Rubber Backed, EXP and many others. Self-adhesive tape is also available.
