Additional Specifications |
The addition of glass fibers makes this material more abrasion resistant than standard UHMW. Also known as Tivar 88, these impact-resistant bars are often used as liners for chutes and hoppers because they have a tough, slippery surface that keeps material, including metal, flowing freely.
