Food Approved Grades
TIVAR® CleanStat White
TIVAR® CleanStat White shapes
TIVAR® CleanStat White, the first FDA compliant and ATEX tested thermoplastic with permanent antistatic performance for pharmaceutical and food applications. New ultra-high-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) TIVAR® CleanStat White is unique in combining good electrostatic dissipation (ESd), excellent wear resistance and food contact compliancy in a neutral / white colored material.
TIVAR CleanStat White addresses the increasing hygiene and safety demands of the pharmaceuticals and drugs processing industry, including conformity to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) handling requirements and compliance with ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. The UHMW-PE has been developed to benefit specific applications, such as guiders for pill filling, drug pressing applications, pistons and valves for powder dosing, labeling and printing equipment. For the food processing & packaging sector it is also suitable for linings in sugar and flour processing, guiders for pudding weighing and filling, as well as conveyor parts.
TIVAR® CleanStat
TIVAR CleanStat is a PE-UHMW grade for use in food processing and pharmaceutical industries. It exhibits static dissipative properties and has a food contact compliant composition.
TIVAR CleanStat black (plates) is available as a "Food Grade".
TIVAR® H.O.T.
TIVAR H.O.T. [Higher Operating Temperature] is formulated to maintain inherent PE-UHMW key properties over an extended service temperature range, in this way considerably increasing part life in low load bearing applications up to temperatures as high as 125°C. Special additives reduce the oxidation rate of the material at higher temperatures thereby slowing down material degradation and extending wear-life. TIVAR H.O.T. also features a food contact compliant composition.

TIVAR® MD.
Product Details
This PE-UHMW grade with extremely high degree of polymerisation contains a metal detectable additive with does hardly affect the inherent PE-UHMW key properties. TIVAR MD presents excellent toughness and impact strength, an even improved wear and abrasion resistance when compared with TIVAR 1000, and it also features a food contact compliant composition (FDA and 3A-Sanitary-Dairy-Standard compliant). TIVAR MD has been specifically tailored for use in the food processing and packaging industries where it can easily be traced by the conventional metal detection systems installed to detect contamination of the foodstuffs (results may vary depending on the sensitivity of the metal detection system used).
TIVAR MD (plates, rods) is available as a "Food Grade".

TIVAR® DrySlide
Product Details
Thanks to the lubricant built into a PE-UHMW matrix with higher molecular weight, TIVAR DrySlide offers a lower coefficient of friction and enhanced wear and abrasion resistance than TIVAR 1000. The additives used also make this material static dissipative and considerably improve UV-resistance.
TIVAR® TECH
Product Details
This PE-UHMW grade with an extremely high degree of polymerisation contains molybdenum disulphide, resulting in a material with improved wear resistance and sliding properties over TIVAR 1000.
TIVAR TECH (plates) is available as a "Food Grade".
TIVAR® Cestidur/DS
Product Details
TIVAR Cestidur/DS is a modified PE-UHMW with extremely high molecular weight. The latter in combination with a particular manufacturing process results in a PE-UHMW grade with superior wear and abrasion resistance over TIVAR 1000.
TIVAR Cestidur grey and TIVAR DS yellow (plates) are available as "Food Grades".
TIVAR® Ceram P
Product Details
TIVAR Ceram P is a wear improved PE-UHMW material with incorporated micro glass beads, specifically developed for use in the dewatering zone of high-speed paper machinery equipped with plastic wires and manufacturing paper with high abrasive filler content.
