![Tivar® HPV]( "Tivar® HPV")
Tivar® HPV
Tivar HPV for wear components that are subject to challenging production environments including high speeds, high temperatures, high loads and aggressive cleaning agents. Tivar HPV is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) that is Food-Contact compliant and available as semi-finished material and custom-machined parts. The material is suitable for all touch points in a conveyor system where friction and wear appears, such as chain guides, sliding strips and guides, rollers, single and multiple corner wear bends and straight guides. Longer productive cycles between maintenance, shorter downtimes and your systems run
smoothly with less interruption. The time required for failure analysis and installation of
replacement parts is reduced, the safety and return on your investment improves.
Tivar HPV offers better wear-resistance than Tivar 1000 with near zero level of "slip stick". The elimination of slip-stick mostly associated with chatter and/or squeaking, provides an extraordinary amount of motion control for high-precision applications.

Tivar® MD - Metal Detectable UHMW-PE
Tivar® MD - Metal Detectable UHMW-PE - Metal-detectable plastics for food processing.
MCAM-Quadrant has extended its portfolio of food-compliant materials with PE-, POM- and PA6-based metal-detectable plastics for food-processing equipment. The materials enable manufacturers to more efficiently address the issue of breakage and wear in equipment parts.
MCAM-Quadrant's new range of metal-detectable (MD) engineering thermoplastics is designed to support the food-processing industry's need for reliable, traceable and cost-effective machine parts. MCAM-Quadrant is the first manufacturer to offer a choice of polyethylene (PE), polyoxymethylene (POM) and polyamide (PA6)-based food-contact-approved MD engineering materials.
The food-processing industry requires plastics equipment parts that will provide a high level resistance to wear and tear, and the cleanliness necessary for today's fast line speeds. At the same time, parts must provide the reassurance of easy detection should fragments or particles break off and fall into the foodstuff during processing.
MCAM-Quadrant's set of three MD modified plastics comprises TIVAR MD, based on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (PE-UHMW); Acetron MD, based on POM; and Nylatron MD, based on PA6. Acetron MD and Nylatron MD are available in a blue colour to aid visual and MD detectability; X-ray detection is also possible.
- TIVAR MD is available in grey colour.
- All materials deliver the necessary MD level for particles as small as 3 x 3 x 3mm.
In addition to food compliancy (according to FDA and EU Directive 2002/72 EC standards), the individual materials offer different advantages, such as good impact resistance, high wear resistance and good machining properties.

![Torlon® 4540 Duratron®]( "Torlon® 4540 Duratron®")
Torlon® 4540 Duratron®
Torlon® 4540 (aka Duratron® T4540) compression molded PAI is a seal and bearing grade offers a very low coefficient of friction and good wear properties. It was developed specifically for use in rotating equipment. Its composition is the same as the former Torlon 4340 polyamide-imide and used when larger (especially tubular) shapes are required. Torlon 4540 was developed by, and is exclusive to MCAM-Quadrant, sold under the brand name Duratron® T4540.
As increasing world demand for petroleum and chemical products push manufacturing facilities to
maximum capacity, engineers are searching for ways to improve efficiency and increase output.
Pump and compressor manufacturers and equipment re-builders are exploring the use of
advanced polymer materials as replacement for traditional metals and exotic composites to
extend the life and efficiency of seals. However, the materials used must withstand extremely
severe conditions of temperature, pressure and aggressive chemicals.
Seals machined from Torlon® 4540 improve the output and service life in gas re-injection compressors.
The material is more damage resistant during start-up and process upsets than
metals, and affords greater resistance to corrosion and dynamic wear.

Torlon® 4XCF (aka 7130) (30% Carbon-Filled PAI)
Torlon® 4XCF(Extruded) (also known as Torlon 7130) is 30% carbon fiber-reinforced. It offers exceptional stiffness, nonabrasive wear performance and the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion MCAM-Quadrant materials. Torlon is the highest performing, melt processable plastic. It has superior resistance to elevated
temperatures. It is capable of performing under severe stress conditions at continuous temperatures to 500°F (260°C). Parts machined from Torlon stock shapes provide greater compressive strength and higher impact resistance than most advanced engineering plastics Torlon PAI's extremely
low coefficient of linear thermal expansion and high creep resistance deliver excellent dimensional stability over its entire service range. Torlon is an amorphous material with a Tg (glass transition temperature) of 537°F (280°C). Torlon stock shapes are post-cured using procedures developed jointly by BP Amoco and MCAM-Quadrant. This eliminates the need for additional curing by the end user in most situations.

UltraPro™ 4.2
UltraPro™ 4.2 Proprietary Ultra Wear-Resistant UHMW is made from the highest molecular weight polyethylene that is consistently available. In accordance with ASTM D-4020/92, the requirements for a product to be classified as "true UHMW" must be 3.1 million or greater. While 3.1 million or greater meets the industry standard density for UHMW, UltraPro 4.2 exceeds this standard with an industry-leading density of 4.2 million or greater. Enhanced performance characteristics are directly related to molecular weight, so when comparing the abrasion resistance, the higher molecular weight (I.V. Intrinsic Viscosity) translates to greater wear life, and proven superior wear resistant properties.
