High-Temperature UHMW Polyethylene Bars

Also known as Tivar H.O.T., this material lasts up to 10 times longer in high-temperature applications than standard UHMW. These bars are excellent electrical insulators. They have a slippery surface that resists wear and prevents sticking, plus they provide superior protection from damage caused by impact. They are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
