Description

Overview
Rulon® 488 is a dull turquoise filled PTFE material developed for use on painted and abrasive surfaces. It offers broad chemical resistance and improved load and wear performance compared with related Rulon® grades, making it suitable for demanding bearing and sealing applications including veneer dryer bearings and hydrogen/natural gas compressors.

Materials and Processing
The compound is produced by compression molding and delivered molded or precision-machined from high-performance PTFE and filled PTFE composites.

Performance & Service Conditions
Very good wear resistance in dry environments. Service temperature range: -240°C to +288°C. Mechanical strength: 6.9 MPa. Friction coefficient: 0.10–0.30. Max PV (dry/lub): 0.35 MPa·m/s.

Typical Offerings
  • Automatically molded bearings and components
  • Sleeve, flanged and thrust bearings
  • Stamped and formed seals
  • Extruded shapes
  • Machined parts and molded shapes

Applications
  • Pumps, mixers and compressors
  • Appliances and insulators
  • Linear slides, pipe supports and wear bands
  • Environments: steam, wet, dry and vacuum; also suitable for hydrogen and natural gas compressors

Standard Specifications
Material: dull turquoise fluoropolymer, engineered filled PTFE. Manufacturing: compression molding; precision machining as required. Dimensions: rods & tubes φ1.2 m × L3 m; sheets L610 mm × W80 mm; tapes W1 m × T 0.08–6 mm.
