Product Details Supplier Info More products

Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products has introduced Tivar polyethylene (PE) bearing grade Tivar HPV for wear components that are subject to challenging production environments including high speeds, high temperatures, high loads and aggressive cleaning agents.

Tivar HPV is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) that is Food-Contact compliant and available as semi-finished material and custom-machined parts.

The material is suitable for all touch points in a conveyor system where friction and wear appears, such as chain guides, sliding strips and guides, rollers, single and multiple corner wear bends and straight guides.

Key benefits

  • Components made with Tivar HPV offer improved sliding behaviour and high wear and abrasion resistance.
  • Tivar HPV has a built-in dry lubricant, giving it a limiting pressure velocity (LPV) value 18 per cent higher than competitive material, according to Quadrant.
  • The company said that POM-C counterplate tests it performed showed that Tivar HPV offers the lowest coefficient-of-friction value available.
