TIVAR® - Ceram P®
Also available: Tivar® Clean Stat
TIVAR® Ceram P® is suitable for high load, high speed and abrasive applications. It is composed of virgin polymer and premium additives and is easily recognisable by its lime-green colour. Due to its high tensile strength and wear resistance, TIVAR® Ceram P® is ideal for reducing parts wear and machine downtime. It is also a shatter resistant alternative to sintered ceramics.
Key features: Excellent wear resistance.
High tensile strength.
High impact resistance.
High load resistance.
Excellent chemical resistance.
Low moisture absorption.
Not FDA approved.
Higher wear resistance than PE1000.
Temperature:
-200ºC to +80ºC, +90ºC short term
Applications: High load, high speed and severe sliding abrasion applications. Alternative to sintered ceramics. Chain guides and wear strips especially for high speed and severe sliding applications.
