PROTEUS® HDPE (HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE)is used in a wide variety of applications that require basic engineering plastic performance. High impactand tensile strength make Quadrant HDPE appropriate for vacuum and thermoforming prosthetic devices orindustrial parts and containers. Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance combined with ease of fabrication andwelding make it the standard for chemical processing tanks and equipment. Proteus

®Natural HDPE

meets FDA/USDA requirements for food processing and handling applications.

PROTEUS® HDPE (HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE) BLACKis a non-FDA compliant material that offers the same performance as natural HDPE. Also available witha pebble finish.

SANALITE® HDPE (HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE) CUTTING BOARDis an odorless and taste-free pebbled finished cutting board material recognized as the industry standardof excellence for use in food preparation and meat/poultry processing. Sanalite® is lightweight, easilycleaned and sanitized, and is compliant with FDA, USDA, NSF Standards 2 & 51 and CFIA. Sanalite® Cutting Board is also available in Natural Polypropylene for users who prefer a harder cuttingsurface and added stain resistance. Now available in black - meeting the same compliance

standards as natural Sanalite®.

PROTEUS® LDPE (LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE)is more flexible than HDPE. LDPE is easily vacuum or draped formed into prosthetic devices that offermore flexibility of motion. LDPE also provides good chemical resistance and impact strength and is easyto fabricate into industrial parts. Proteus

®LDPE meets FDA criteria for use in food processing

and packaging.

BOROTRON® BORATED PE (POLYETHYLENE)Borotron® PE is based on Quadrant's high performance PE material with three loading options of 1.5%,3.0%, or 5.0% elemental boron. Borotron® has been used as a medical and industrial shielding material to attenuate and absorb neutron radiation. This easily fabricated polymermaterial also offers designers greater durability and function over a wider range of temperatures than tra-ditional materials.

• Easy to handle and fabricate • Durable over a wider temperature range than other solutions • Consistent density and homogeneity • Superior dimensional quality and flatness

PRODUCT APPLICATION:Chemical Processing Storage Tank

Problem: Chemical corrosion caused metaltanks to leak hazardous chemicals.Solution: Fabricated HPDE tanks resistcorrosion from the harsh chemicals thatdestroyed costly metal reservoirs.Benefits: Cleaner, more impact resistanttanks are much easier to utilize and requirefar less repair and maintenance.

•

•

PRODUCT APPLICATION:Commercial Cutting Board

Problem: Many commercial kitchens andfood processing facilities have struggled withwood cutting boards that absorb liquids, flavorsand odors. These substances can grow intobacteria that can contaminate food products.Solution: Sanalite® HDPE or PP cuttingboards eliminate these problems.Benefits: Easy to clean and disinfect. Will not absorb liquid, flavor or odor.Sanalite® is lighter than wood allowing foreasier installation. This highly cut resistantpolymer provides a longer service life forknives andcutting tools.

•

•

•

Few cutting board suppliers have both NSF Standards 2 & 51 on their material. Meaning that if a sheetgets cut up into smaller pieces, the NSF rating is lost. Sanalite has NSF on both full sheets and cut pieces.

TIVAR® H.O.T. UHMW-PE (HIGHER OPERATING TEMPERATURE)excels in a variety of industrial manufacturing environments where temperatures reach up to 275°F. TIVAR®

H.O.T. UHMW-PE reduces oxidation rate at higher temperatures, slows degradation and extends wear-lifein chemical, elevated temperature and thermo-cycling environments. TIVAR® H.O.T. UHMW-PE meetsFDA/USDA guidelines and is 3-A Dairy Sanitation compliant, making it the ideal, longer life material forwear parts in dairy, bakery, poultry/meat and other food processing industries where higher temperatures or frequent chemical wash downs shorten part life.

TIVAR® CERAM P UHMW-PEis a unique combination of virgin material and premium additives which makes it the material of choicefor severe sliding abrasion applications. Its higher tensile strength and wear resistance over standardUHMW products increased part life, and reduced maintenance downtime.

EFFECTS OF UV ON WEAR PERFORMANCE

TIVAR® OIL FILLED UHMW-PEprovides lower coefficient of friction by introducing a wetlubricant that exudes from the material, adds lubrication to mating parts and still meetsFDA/USDA guidelines for food processing and handlingapplications. With TIVAR® Oil Filled UHMW-PE, convey-ors operate more effectively without the added expenseof unnecessary lubricant delivery systems.

TIVAR® DRYSLIDE UHMW-PEis modified with a dry lubricant to have the lowest coeffi-cient of friction of all TIVAR® UHMW-PE products. Theenhanced wear resistance and electro static dissipativeproperties make TIVAR® DrySlide UHMW-PE a proven per-former in dusty, dirty environments. It moves parcels and packages quickly even in high humidity. TIVAR®

DrySlide UHMW-PE is inherently UV stabilized and performs well in any outdoor application. (105 to 109)

TIVAR® HPV (HIGH PRESSURE VELOCITY) UHMW-PEis the newest extreme bearing grade UHMW-PE offering a High Pressure Velocity (HPV) beyond standardmaterial. This ensures reduced frictional heat and longer wearlife in the most extreme conditions.TIVAR® HPV is FDA and USDA compliant and is ideal for bearings, wear surfaces and

conveying applications.

(1) Data represents Quadrant’s estimated maximum long term service temperature based on practical field experience.

(2) Specimens 1/8" thick x 2" dia. or square.

(3) Chemical resistance data are for little or no applied stress. Increased stress, especially localized, may result in more severe attack. Examples ofcommon chemicals also included.

(4) Relative cost of material profiled in this brochure ($ = Least Expensive and $$$$$$ = Most Expensive)

(5) Estimated rating based on available data. The UL 94 Test is a laboratory test and does not relate to actual fire hazard. Contact Quadrant for specific UL “Yellow Card” recognition number.

NOTE: Property data shown are typical average values. A dash (-) indicates insufficientdata available for publishing.
