TIVAR SUPERPLUS

TIVAR SuperPlus is engineered for severe wear conditions where components must keep performing under constant sliding, repeated impact, and exposure to aggressive environments. It combines low-friction behavior with strong abrasion resistance, making it a dependable choice for industrial parts that need long service life and minimal downtime.

Key Features

• Excellent resistance to wear and surface abrasion
• Strong impact performance, including at low temperatures, especially in PE-UHMW grades
• Outstanding chemical resistance
• Lower density than many other thermoplastics
• Very low friction coefficient
• Outstanding release characteristics
• Extremely low water absorption
• Moderate strength, stiffness, and creep resistance
• Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties, except in static dissipative grades
• Excellent machinability for custom processing
• Physiologically inert, with several grades suitable for food contact
• Good resistance to high-energy radiation such as gamma rays and X-rays
• Not self-extinguishing, except in TIVAR Burnguard
• Well suited to sliding and wear components where smooth movement is important

Product Description

TIVAR SuperPlus is a wear-optimized, partially cross-linked PE-UHMW material with an exceptionally high degree of polymerization, designed for use in the most demanding applications and operating conditions.

Its combination of abrasion resistance, low moisture uptake, and reliable machinability makes it especially valuable for parts that are custom fabricated or repeatedly exposed to harsh service. In many industrial systems, it helps support smoother material flow and more consistent performance over time.

Common uses include liners, guides, chutes, wear strips, bushings, and other components where friction and abrasion can quickly shorten the life of conventional materials. When long wear life and dependable operation are priorities, TIVAR SuperPlus offers a practical engineering solution.

Overall, TIVAR SuperPlus delivers a strong balance of durability, chemical resistance, and low-friction performance. For applications that require a tough UHMW-based material with excellent processing characteristics, it remains a trusted option.
