View available formsTIVAR®formulation family
TIVAR® includes multiple formulations within this family, each with its own additives and service characteristics. Specify the exact designation when a particular formulation is required.
Colour alone establishes neither properties nor food-contact compliance.

HDPE combines impact resistance, low water absorption and straightforward fabrication. It can be machined and welded for handling equipment and containment components.
HDPE is not equivalent to UHMW for wear service.
