TIVAR® 88 UHMW-PE The premium glass-filled liner grade that keeps material moving.

When bare metal or standard UHMW-PE can't stop bridging, ratholing, and hang-ups in hoppers, chutes, and bins, TIVAR® 88 is the grade engineered specifically for gravity-fed and pneumatic bulk flow. Emco stocks and fabricates it to print.

LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION

LOW MOISTURE ABSORPTION

EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

WHY TIVAR® 88

Built to solve flow problems, not just resist wear

TIVAR® 88 is Mitsubishi Chemical's premium glass-filled UHMW-PE, engineered around one core problem: material that won't flow. Its low coefficient of friction and low moisture pickup let bulk solids — from aggregate and coal to grain and chemical powders — slide freely instead of bridging, arching, or packing against liner walls.

Liner of choice for storage & transport containers, hoppers, chutes, tubes, bunkers, conveyors, vibratory pans, and stand pipes.
Kit-form installation — available as pre-engineered SystemTIVAR® liner kits, self-installed or installed through a certified partner network, or Emco can fabricate custom panels to your drawing.
Family of variants — TIVAR® 88-2 adds internal lubricant for the lowest COF in the line; TIVAR® 88 ESD adds static-dissipative performance for dusty or volatile environments.
Fabrication-ready — Emco cuts, drills, and forms TIVAR® 88 panels and liner kits to your bin or chute geometry, not just raw stock.

GRADE SELECTOR

Choosing within the TIVAR® 88 family

Grade	Formulation	Best fit when…
TIVAR® 88	Premium glass-filled UHMW-PE	You need the baseline low-friction, low-moisture liner for general bulk storage and transport — hoppers, bins, chutes, stand pipes.
TIVAR® 88-2	Premium lubricant-filled, UV stabilized	The application needs the lowest coefficient of friction in the 88 family, or the liner will see sustained outdoor UV exposure.
TIVAR® 88 ESD	Glass-filled, cross-linked, static-dissipative	Dusty or volatile bulk material creates a static discharge risk and the line needs charge dissipation without giving up flow performance.

Property data referenced here reflects current published TIVAR® datasheets from Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials. Always confirm grade selection and thickness against your specific media, temperature, and abrasion conditions — Emco can help you cross-reference.
