MCAM TIVAR® MD UHMW-PE

TIVAR MD UHMW-PE TIVAR MD is a UHMW-PE grade that has been specifically tailored for use in the food processing and packaging industries where it can be easily traced by conventional metal detection systems installed to detect the contamination of foodstuffs. This FDA and EU compliant material offers exceptional toughness impact strength wear and abrasion resistance for various applications such as scrapers funnels seals and chain guides. Results may vary depending on the sensitivity of the metal detection system used. C om pe t i t i v e A d v a n t a g e OEMs food processors and MRO Business Producers in the meat cheese dairy and bakery industries are continually searching for a good economical material solution where impact strength is a prime performance requirement that is detectable by existing processing line equipment. TIVAR MD was designed for the most extreme processing environments where fatigue high speed and wear can increase the risk of contamination.
