Peek is a thermoplastic known for its naturally low friction material and well rounded abrasive and fatigue wear resistance.
Low friction wear resistant plastic sheet.
Hdpe has a low coefficient of friction and can be easily cut machined welded and thermoformed for easy fabrication.
High performance materials such as peek and dupont vespel are frequently used for applications that.
It s important to recognize that wear is a complex behavior that may include adhesion abrasion erosion and or fatigue.
Sheets bars and strips in addition to a low friction surface that prevents sticking and binding this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs scrapes and strikes that other plastics can t.
Its impressive durability and performance in punishing environments make it a choice material for components across a wide variety of industries.
Low friction additives such as ptfe oil carbon fiber and graphite powder can also significantly improve the wear performance of these polymers under certain conditions.
Slippery uhmw polyethylene film.
Light and weather resistant it remains stable even after long term exposure.
In addition to ptfe the classic bearing and wear materials made of polyimide peek pps nylon acetal and polyester are also known for their good sliding friction properties.
Low thermal conductivity is retained despite temperature variation making ptfe a good insulator.
It offers high thermal chemical and solvent resistance high dielectric and antistick properties and very low coefficient of friction.
Uhmw a soft tough plastic offers outstanding abrasion resistance.
Nylon and acetal both stronger than uhmw are often used for applications that require superior mechanical properties.
Easy to machine acetal makes an outstanding choice for applications that require complex tight tolerances.
Dupont delrin internally lubricated wear resistant acetal resins are used to help solve wear friction or noise problems.
Hdpe will not splinter rot or absorb harmful bacteria and is extremely resistant to cleaning agents.
Good for friction and wear plastic products due to its low coefficient of friction ptfe polytetrafluoroethylene is often used for sliding applications.
Wear resistant low friction thermoplastic compounds reduce friction between moving parts and part failure rates custom formulations provide multi property solutions internally lubricated thermoplastics eliminate expensive time consuming secondary operations associated with external surface lubrication.
Acetal is chemically resistant to hydrocarbons solvents and neutral chemicals.
