What is TIVAR used for?
TIVAR® Oil Filled uses oil-filled polymers to achieve an enhanced coefficient of friction. It often is used for applications requiring higher-pressure velocity values, such as sprockets and conveyor components. TIVAR® Oil Filled also meets FDA guidelines for food processing and handling applications.
Who manufactures Tivar?
Alro Plastics – TIVAR® 1000 UHMW – The standard for engineered polymers.
What is Tivar eco plate?
UHMW TIVAR® ECO is plastic material suitable for machinery components, wear plates and guides. Depending on the application, UHMW ECO has an overall lower mechanical strength (90%) than the virgin TIVAR® 1000. This grade, partially composed of reprocessed PE-UHMW material can be machined easily.
What is Tivar 88?
Tivar® 88 is a premium lining material for bulk handling. Tivar® 88 is noted for its performance in promoting bulk solids flow of cohesive or non-free flowing materials due to its low surface friction.
Is UHMW FDA approved?
Yes, UHMW-PE is both FDA and USDA approved for use in food processing and medical applications.
What plastic is similar to Delrin?
Here’s the main takeaway: While Delrin does have some distinguishing properties, acetal plastics share enough in common that they are often interchangeable based on budget and other project-specific characteristics.
How good is Delrin?
Delrin plastic works as an excellent replacement for metal because of its high-tensile strength, low-friction and high-wear resistance, creep and warp resistance, and overall durability and toughness.
How do you cut Tivar?
- TIVAR can be efficiently machined using conventional machine tools and woodworking machinery.
- For circular sawing, course tooth carbide-tipped blades give the best results.
- Use high-speed steel tool bits with 10 front and side clearance and 15-30 rake.
