Plastics can be used for applications that require rubbing contact with mating metal surfaces. 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.
High performance materials such as PEEK and DuPont™ Vespel® are frequently used for applications that involve high temperatures, loads, and/or speeds.
High strength, stiff, low friction engineering plastic with good wear properties.
Electrical grade phenolic sheet material with cotton canvas reinforcement.
Extremely high temperature creep resistant plastic with excellent friction and wear characteristics.
A composite sheet material that consists of electrical grade phenolic resin impregnated into layers of linen fabric.
Strong, stiff engineering plastic often used to replace metal bearings and bushings.
Extremely stong, stiff, dimensionally stable plastic material often used in elevated temperature environments.
Strong, stiff plastic, excellent machining characteristics, bearing and wear, and chemical resistance.
Strong, stiff plastic with outstanding chemical resistance; performs over a wide range of temperatures.
A strong, dimensionally stable plastic with outstanding chemical resistance and wear properties.
Plastic material with excellent chemical and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.
Low friction engineering plastic with outstanding chemical, high temperature, and weathering resistance.
Extremely tough abrasion resistant, low cost plastic, used for a wide range of wear applications.
