TIVAR® Oil Filled UHMW is the material of choice for packaging, bottling, and food processing and handling applications requiring FDA and USDA compliance.

With TIVAR® Oil Filled, conveyors operate more effectively, without the effort and added expense of unnecessary lubrication. On TIVAR® Oil Filled guides, sprockets and conveyor components, chains move easily with less tension, stretching or binding.

TIVAR® Oil Filled comes in either a dark brown or gray color and is available in 48" x 120" sheets with gauge sizes ranging from 1/8" to 2". It is also manufactured in rod, molded parts and some profiles.
