Semi-crystalline thermoplastic

Properties

• high absorption of moisture of up to 3 % in standard atmosphere. Results: in increased impact resistance. Please note: In thin-walled parts, reduced mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
• excellent noise and vibration damping
• excellent sliding properties
• high abrasion resistance
• high mechanical strength coupled with high impact strength
• excellent machinability
• good adhesive properties
• good weldability

Field of application

Universally deployable parts exposed to high loading; frequently used as a substitute for aluminium and bronze.

Mechanical engineering, offshore, vehicle construction, food processing industry

e.g. sliding parts, rollers, bushes, bogies, cable winches, lifting gears, rope pulleys, conveyor stars, spiral conveyors
