Description

Semi-crystalline polyester modified with solid lubricants. It has excellent mechanical and tribological properties. It has a high dimensional stability, a very low coefficient of friction combined with low friction characteristics and superior self-lubricating; all this enhances the typical characteristics of Arnite; it shows excellent results in precision applications, also for use without lubrication, with rapid cycling and high surface speeds. Very suitable for machine processing. Approved for contact with food.
 

Features

• low coefficient of friction, suitable for “dry”use
• High resistance to wear
• dimensional stability for both temperature and humidity
• excellent machinability
• compatibility with food

Weak Point

• the material is hard, the impact resistance is not high
• If used in a wet environment must not exceed 80 ° C
• sensitive to hydrolysis
• the material sometimes subject to minimum quantities / preparation times associated with the production

Application

• Mechanical: given the low coefficient of friction is a material that is particularly used for sliding bearings, slides, guides, etc
• Food contact: Food is physiologically inert and is widely used in food machinery
• Electrical: The excellent electrical characteristics maintained over time they do largely used for insulators or electrical applications
