TIVAR™ 88-2 UHMW-PE are UV-stabilized shapes that offer the lowest coefficient of friction of all TIVAR™ 88 grades. Additionally, this premium, lubricant-filled lining material offers low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance. TIVAR™ 88-2 UHMW-PE components can be fabricated and welded for any application that requires a seamless drop-in liner, a framed-in liner, or a replacement liner. For these reasons, this grade is considered the material of choice for lining storage and transport containers, hoppers, chutes, tubes, bunkers, conveyors, vibratory pans and stand pipes. Furthermore, TIVAR™ 88-2 UHMW-PE liners are available in kits and can be self-installed or professionally installed through our extensive network of global SystemTIVAR™ Engineering partners.
