TIVAR™ H.O.T UHMW-PE (Higher Operating Temperature) is a premium grade that is formulated to help finished components maintain key performance properties in an extended temperature range. TIVAR™ H.O.T. UHMW-PE excels in a variety of industrial manufacturing environments where temperatures reach up to 135°C (275°F). Furthermore, TIVAR™ H.O.T. UHMW-PE components are compliant with FDA requirements, making this material the ideal, longer life thermoplastic for wear parts in dairy, bakery, poultry/meat and other food processing industries where higher temperatures or frequent chemical wash downs shorten part life.
