Tivar UHMW-PE Eco-recycled properties

Tivar UHMW-PE Eco-recycled properties

(OP)
Hi, I know this probably isn't the right section to ask but I am curious about Tivars reprocessed line of UHMW, in comparison to their virgin material, and if I would be able to trust reprocessed material from this company (Quadrant Engineering)? Use will be flat stock machined to small flanges (1-2" radii approx 7/32-1/4" mounting holes) used as wear ring against lightly loaded smooth low carbon steel shafts.

 Will this product suit me or does the re-ground material have a tendency to 'flake' or show a less than factory appearance? Or are these notions purely a sales tactic derived from another company persuading me to beleive their re-processed UHMW is superior to all others including Tivar Eco?

What properties do you need?
What properties are the reprocessors willing to guarantee?
