General Info

TIVAR® ESd UHMW-PE (ELECTRO STATIC DISSIPATIVE) protects against electrical charge build-up on wear surfaces. TIVAR® ESd UHMW-PE is the ideal material to use when potentially volatile conditions exist in munitions plants. It also protects expensive robotic and conveyor equipment that is sensitive to electrical charge build-up. (10^5 to 10^9 surface resistivity ohm/square)

Manufacturer Trade Names

TIVAR® ESD UHMW-PE

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
