Engineered to maintain good mechanical properties at an elevated temperature range, Bemalon (Tivar®) H.O.T. will excel in a variety of industrial manufacturing settings where temperatures range up to 135°C or 275°F, nearly 38°C or 100°F higher than the competing UHMW-PE family. Bemalon (Tivar®) H.O.T. reduces the rate of material oxidation at higher temperatures, thus slowing material degradation and extending wear resistance in chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments. In many applications, Bemalon (Tivar®) H.O.T. will last up to ten times longer in higher temperature environments. Excellent wear and friction properties. Bemalon (Tivar®) H.O.T. is also a good material for use in conveying systems or other equipment frequently subjected to chemical washdowns in industries such as poultry/meat processing and packaging. It can also be used in applications ranging from wear strips for spiral conveyors in the baking industry, to pulling conveyor flights in grain elevators, or wear strips for trailer wipers in drying and curing systems.
