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 Points
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
