UHMW-PE
Polymer / filler family, not a unique commercial grade. The cited named product is an example only.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
TIVAR 1000 virgin stock is a named example. Reprocessed, antistatic, lubricated and other modified UHMW grades need their own identity and data.
- Designation in this reference
- Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
- Forms covered by the sources
- Stock-shape rod / plate; confirm supplier process and dimensions
- States to distinguish or confirm
- Exact compound, color and additives recorded
- Extruded / molded route and stress relief recorded
- Temperature and exposure
- Melting point, glass-transition temperature, heat-deflection test and long-term service rating are different quantities. Use a grade-specific value with its load, duration and test conditions.

Property evidence for a stated condition
No condition-specific numerical table is reproduced here
The linked sources establish the identity and the stated product/state scope. Obtain the row for your actual form, section, treatment and test conditions before adopting strength, hardness or a thermal limit.

Resolve these conditions next
- Which manufacturer, exact grade, filler fraction and stock form are specified?
- What moisture conditioning, direction, test method and service temperature apply?
For machining, take the exact grade, supplied condition and measured hardness where applicable into the tool maker’s application data. A generic material-family speed is not a substitute for an operation and tool-specific recommendation.
Sources and what they establish
Reviewed 23 October 2026. A source’s publication date and the review date are different. The scope below identifies the fields checked.
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials TIVAR 1000 Virgin UHMW-PE
Specific virgin stock-shape product; test methods, specimens and units differ between ISO and ASTM columns, which must not be treated as unit conversions.
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials TIVAR 1000 Virgin UHMW-PE ↗Source identity, a named product example and a supplied-batch certificate are different evidence. Cross-standard similarity does not approve substitution.
Corrections from the previous article
- Remove will not break under impact and highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic.
- A no-break test outcome concerns a particular specimen/method; ISO and ASTM datasheet columns are not unit conversions.
