ERTACETAL® is a material with greater dimensional stability than polyamides despite having a lower wear resistance. ERTACETAL® C is more resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkaline solutions and thermal oxidation degradation than ERTACETAL® H.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness
- High modulus of elasticity
- Good resistance to creep
- High impact resistance even at low temperatures
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Good slip properties and wear resistance
- Easy machining (better than polyamide)
- Low moisture absorption
- High resistance to chemicals
- Physiologically inert
APPLICATIONS
- Dimensionally stable precision parts
- Small module sprockets
- Couplings, gloves, valve elements
- Bushings
- All types of parts where better finishing and dimensional stability are required
- Heavy duty bearings and rollers
- Bearings and gears with small gaps
- Components for electrical insulation
