TIVAR®

From food processing to packaging, bulk material handling to pharmaceutical processing...TIVAR can improve your business performance. If your process machinery has problems with noise, premature wear, stretched chains, unscheduled downtime or expensive replacements, TIVAR solves those problems and your machinery runs longer and smoother.

TIVAR formulations are recognized worldwide for their wear and corrosion resistance, low friction surface and impact strength. TIVAR can outperform stainless steel, yet it weighs only 1/8 as much. It can also handle wide temperature ranges making it ideal for use on freezing lines or on lines with intermittent temperatures up to 212oF (100oC). From intricate wear components to large-scale installations, a TIVAR product can fit the application.


TIVAR Product Family

  • TIVAR® H.O.T.
    Formulated to maintain key performance properties in an extended temperature range, Tivar H.O.T. will excel in a variety of industrial manufacturing environments where temperatures range up to 275°F (nearly 100°F higher than competing UHMW-PE formulations). more info

  • TIVAR 1000 is an excellent general purpose wear material that meets FDA, USDA, & 3-A Dairy guidelines for pharmaceutical processing and food contact applications.

  • TIVAR Recycled Marble & Uniblend maintains an acceptable combination of properties for less demanding, non-FDA applications.

  • TIVAR AntiStatic protects parts sensitive to build-up of static electricity. Surface resistivity ranges from 105 to 109 (ohms/cm2).

  • TIVAR 88 is a premium lining material for bulk material handling. It is noted for its high performance in promoting bulk solids flow of cohesive or non-free flowing materials.

  • TIVAR UV Resistant is modified for enhanced stability in outdoor applications and is available in safety colors.

  • TIVAR Cleanstat is a static-reduced product that meets FDA & USDA guidelines for food handling and phamaceutical processing. Tivar Cleanstat is weldable and will eliminate static build-up problems while exhibiting a longer-wearing, lower-coefficient of friction sliding surface than stainless steel.

  • TIVAR Oil Filled is an enhanced dynamic coefficient of friction formula, exuding an oil additive to lubricate mating surfaces. This is commonly used for applications requiring higher pressure velocity values. TIVAR Oil Filled meets FDA & USDA guidelines for food contact applications. TIVAR PolySteel is compounded to achieve specific gravity >1 (won't float); activates metal detectors.

  • TIVAR DrySlide is modified with special dry additives for enhanced coefficient of friction and antistatic properties. DrySlide is effective in dusty environments where components need extra lubrication and anti-static properties.

  • TIVAR CERAM P is a shatter resistant alternative to ceramics. Ceram P is noted for dimensional stability. Ceram P is a proven performer in high speed, high load operations.

  • TIVAR Rubber Backed combines rubber and Tivar 100 that can be cemented in place.
