Tivar® DS is a modified PE-UHMW with extremely high molecular weight. The latter in combination with a particular manufacturing process results in a PE-UHMW grade with superior wear and abrasion resistance over Tivar® 1000. Tivar® DS Yellow and Grey (plates) are available as “Food Grades”. TIVAR® DS is composed of virgin polymer and other additives to exhibit higher intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight. TIVAR® DS has increased wear resistance, excellent machinability and better thermal and dimensional stability. Applications: Recreation Bearings – Chain guides – Conveyor wear components Impact rails for slider beds – Wearstrips – Wear pads
