TIVAR® Oil Filled is the material of choice for packaging, bottling, and food processing and handling applications requiring FDA and USDA compliance. This advanced product uses oil filled polymers to lubricate mating surfaces with a dynamic coefficient of friction formula of less than 0.14. 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.
