Duravar® UHMW offers high impact strength, excellent abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and a low friction coefficient for various sliding wear applications in many industries. The "post-annealing" process reduces material stress, improves productivity, and minimizes waste when cutting this prime material into pieces or strips. Using Duravar® rod increases the life of handling equipment and contributes significantly to clean, low-maintenance, low-energy, and low-cost operations. For indoor operations, parts made with Duravar® provide the added benefit of reduced noise levels. The UHMW material prevents wet or frozen material from sticking to equipment, making it excellent for food processing applications like conveyor guides or wear strips, mixer liners, bearing shields, bottle plates, belt wipers, chute liners, dough bins, mixer paddles, bottle fillers, rollers, and more. The non-stick surface is self-lubricating, requiring no containment grease or oil, and the rod is unaffected by steam cleaning, even when harsh detergents are used.
