High performance plastics demonstrates the superior properties of plastics - sliding friction behaviour (particularly with dry running), savings in weight and chemical resistance - even at high continuous service temperatures

Characteristics:

• Long term service temperature is 150o C and more up tp 300oC.
• Greater strength in the higher temperature range
• Better creep resistance in the higher temperature range especially glass and carbon filled grades
• Co-efficient of thermal expansion can reach values similar to aluminium or steel
• Inherent flame retardancy ( excluding PC-HT and PPA )
• High gamma ray resistance
• Excellent resistance against UV radiation
• Good chemical resistance
• Resistance to repeated sterilization with boiled water or steam ( limited to PC-HT, LCP, PPA, PAI and PI )
• Excellent electrical properties in the higher temeprature range
• Bearing grade materials can work in temperature of 250oC and above
