TIVAR™ CleanStat™ Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene UHMW-PE electro static dissipative shapes are FDA 21 CFR § 177.1520 compliant, which makes them a favored solution within the food processing and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to these characteristics, TIVAR™ CleanStat™ UHMW-PE components exhibit superior corrosion and wear resistance, zero moisture absorption and outstanding welding capabilities. For these reasons, this grade can be easily fabricated into components and replacement parts that reduce noise levels and require less frequent cleaning in food processing and packaging plants.
