Detail
TIVAR™ 1000 NU UHMW-PE sets the standard for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene shapes, offering a well-balanced property profile that includes a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, a low friction surface and excellent impact strength. TIVAR™ 1000 NU UHMW-PE is PMUC-certified and has passed stringent tests by an EDF-approved laboratory to meet PMUC requirements for use on nuclear sites. Each shipment is accompanied with a PMUC certificate including production batch number. MCG offers a range of engineering stock shape products that hold PMUC approval from third party certified laboratories in France. PMUC is the standard for products and materials used in electric, nuclear and thermal power plants.
