How To Measure and Cut-To-Size Policy | Close it

Cut-To-Size Items are Non-Returnable!

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.

How to Use a Measuring Tape

Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.

Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.

Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook

The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).

Description

Extended Temperature UHMW for High-Heat & Oxidizing Environments

TIVAR® H.O.T. (Higher Operating Temperature) is a premium UHMW-PE formulation that maintains its performance properties in environments up to 275°F. This represents a nearly 100°F increase in operating range compared to standard UHMW-PE formulations.

By inhibiting the oxidation process at elevated temperatures, TIVAR® H.O.T. significantly slows material degradation. In many high-heat or thermo-cycling applications, this material lasts up to 10 times longer than competing formulations, offering superior wear resistance and excellent release characteristics.

Looking for standard food-grade options? For applications staying below 180°F, we stock Natural Virgin UHMW (the industry standard workhorse).

Why Choose TIVAR® H.O.T.?

Specifically formulated for the "Heat Zone," TIVAR® H.O.T. is a strong choice for food processing and industrial conveying where steam, friction, or ambient heat cause standard plastics to fail. It is the best choice if you need:

Extended Thermal Range:
Reliable performance up to 275°F, far exceeding the 180°F limit of standard UHMW.
Oxidation Resistance:
Helps inhibit oxidation and slow material degradation in high-heat and thermo-cycling environments.
FDA & 3-A Dairy Compliant:
FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 compliance and 3-A Dairy Sanitation compliance.
Superior Wear Life:
Outlasts standard materials by up to 10x in elevated temperatures due to its specialized additives.
Chemical Washdown Resilience:
Highly resistant to the corrosive chemicals and moisture typical in food-grade sanitation cycles.

TIVAR® H.O.T. vs. Standard UHMW: Which Do You Need?

While both materials share the same extreme wear resistance and low-friction properties that characterize UHMW, their thermal limits define their ideal environments.

  • Choose TIVAR® H.O.T. (This Sheet) if your application involves spiral conveyors in baking, dehydrating systems, or equipment exposed to frequent high-temp chemical washdowns (such as meat and poultry processing). It is essential when continuous operating temperatures exceed 180°F.
  • Choose Natural Virgin UHMW for general-purpose wear strips, bulk handling chute liners, and chain guides in ambient temperatures. It provides the same impact strength and sliding abrasion resistance at a lower cost for non-thermal environments.

Fabrication & Machining

TIVAR® H.O.T. is easily machined using standard woodworking or metalworking tools. It can be drilled, routed, and saw-cut with precision, though coarse threads remain recommended for any mechanical fastening.
