TIVAR® SuperPlus is a wear optimized, partially cross-linked UHMW-PE material with extremely high degree of polymerization for use in most demanding applications and environments. When used for drainage elements in paper machinery, this TIVAR® grade generally also offers better wear and sliding performance than TIVAR® Ceram P UHMW-PE. It can perform in high temperature applications to 225º F (107º C) without degradation. SuperPlus's thermal expansion is also up to 25% below other TIVAR® formulations.
