Modified with special lubricants, TIVAR® DrySlide has the lowest coefficient of friction of any of the TIVAR® products. The enhanced coefficient of friction and anti-static properties make TIVAR® DrySlide an excellent performer in dusty environments. Even damp boxes or parcels covered in shrink-wrap won’t stick to TIVAR® DrySlide. In addition, the enhanced surface lubricity won’t mar packaging or products, but allow them to move freely without jamming from dirt, grit or static build-up. TIVAR® DrySlide is and available in 48″ x 120″ sheets, with gauge sizes ranging from 1/4″ to 2″.
