Tivar® Ceram P UHMW-PE Assembled Parts

TIVAR Ceram P Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is a self-lubricating, glass-filled material known for its bright green color. This grade is recognized for its excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, high impact strength, minimal moisture absorption, tensile strength, and exceptional wear resistance, which is better than virgin UHMW grades and other common polymers. In many applications, this leads to increased part life and reduced maintenance downtime.

TIVAR Ceram P UHMW-PE is commonly used in conveying, agriculture, lumber processing, material handling, pulp, paper, and steel milling industries due to its superior performance in high load, high speed, and severe sliding applications as a bearing and wear material for wear strip, linear bearings, wear liners and other bearing and wear applications.

It is available in various sheets, rods, and CNC machined parts, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring longer wear life than unfilled UHMW or other wear-resistant plastics. The increased part life and reduced downtime result in improved productivity and cost savings.
When comparing wear data from the ASTM G65 Sand Slurry Abrasion test (see below), TIVAR Ceram P demonstrates the lowest material loss, which is 15% lower than Unfilled Virgin UHMW and other wear-resistant polymers and metals. In wear applications involving particulate or abrasive media such as sand, Ceram P offers extended life for chain guides, wear strips, and other sliding wear parts, consistently delivering longer wear life in service and reducing maintenance costs by minimizing downtime
