High-Strength Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Rods
- Color: Blue
- Temperature Range: -325° to 175° F
- Tensile Strength 5,900 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 55 ft-lbs./in. (Excellent)
- Hardness: Durometer 65D (Medium)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D4020, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1520, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3297
Often used in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications, such as conveyor rollers and bearings, these rods stand up to scratches and scuffs better than our standard UHMW polyethylene rods. A built-in dry lubricant makes these rods self-lubricating and extra slippery, so they're smooth and quiet. They also withstand high temperatures and chemicals, so frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers won't affect them. Regularly used in food-processing and pharmaceutical plants, these rods are FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and their blue color makes them easy to spot if any part falls into your product line. Also known as Tivar HPV.
