TIVAR™ SuperPlus UHMW-PE is a wear-optimized, partially cross-linked material with extremely high degree of polymerization for use in most demanding applications and environments. When used for drainage elements in paper machinery, this TIVAR™ UHMW-PE grade generally also offers better wear and sliding performance than TIVAR™ Ceram P UHMW-PE. It can perform in high temperature applications to 107°C (225°F) without degradation. SuperPlus's thermal expansion is also up to 25% below other TIVAR™ formulations.
