TIVAR® Sterra™ DrySlide UHMW-PE is an internally lubricated, recycled ultra high molecular weight polyethylene product. Because the lubricant is built into the matrix of the polyethylene with higher molecular weight, TIVAR® Sterra™ DrySlide UHMW-PE offers a lower coefficient of friction and enhanced wear and abrasion resistance than TIVAR® 1000 UHMW-PE, making it an excellent material for lining applications. The additives used also make this material static dissipative and considerably improve UV-resistance.
As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, TIVAR® Sterra™ DrySlide contains recycled UHMW-PE and therefore is associated with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.
