Low Friction Plastic Sheets

Plastic sheets and film are polymers that supply material for injection molding machining packaging construction electronics signs and other applications.

Low friction plastic sheets.

Lowest friction available tivar hpv features the lowest coefficient of friction cof available for any uhmw grade due in part to a specialized built in dry lubricant formula. Ptfe polytetrefluoroethylene is a soft low friction fluoropolymer with outstanding chemical resistance and weathering resistance. Plastic film is thinner and more flexible than plastic sheets and is often transparent or translucent. Low friction additives such as ptfe oil carbon fiber and graphite powder can also significantly improve the wear performance of these polymers under certain conditions.

Low thermal conductivity is retained despite temperature variation making ptfe a good insulator. Driving longer product life with low friction plastic parts made from low friction polymers can help products last longer with less maintenance. It s important to recognize that wear is a complex behavior that may include adhesion abrasion erosion and or fatigue. The sliding advantage produced from the dry lubricant generates a smoother quieter operation without the need of extra product.

Tivar hpv is a dry running sliding material designed to enhance motion and reduce friction among conveying systems and bearings. This versatile nontoxic plastomer is widely used in the high tech market. Ptfe features impressive heat mechanical toughness electrical and low friction properties making it the material of choice for many high heat and low friction applications. Dupont works with parts makers and manufacturers worldwide to make moving parts last longer and work better in applications from automotive drivetrains to conveyors to photovoltaic systems.

Ptfe is a soft fluoropolymer mechanical plastic with exceptional resistance to high temperatures chemicals corrosion and stress cracking. These materials resist corrosion and provide electrical insulation. It offers high thermal chemical and solvent resistance high dielectric and antistick properties and very low coefficient of friction. Mcmaster carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595 000 products.

Ptfe is stable at temperatures up to 500 o f and it is often used in high temperature environments. Antistatic low friction fiberglasstape coated with teflon ptfe. 98 of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day. Ptfe also has excellent electrical insulating properties.
