Low Friction Plastic Sheets

This versatile nontoxic plastomer is widely used in the high tech market.

Low friction plastic sheets.

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. This tape discharges minor amounts of surface static electricity and resists static buildup. Ptfe is a soft fluoropolymer mechanical plastic with exceptional resistance to high temperatures chemicals corrosion and stress cracking. Tivar hpv is a dry running sliding material designed to enhance motion and reduce friction among conveying systems and bearings.

The sliding advantage produced from the dry lubricant generates a smoother quieter operation without the need of extra product. Ptfe polytetrefluoroethylene is a soft low friction fluoropolymer with outstanding chemical resistance and weathering resistance. Ptfe sheet is quite a soft engineering plastic and may be difficult to hold without damaging or crushing. Driving longer product life with low friction plastic parts made from low friction polymers can help products last longer with less maintenance.

Mcmaster carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595 000 products. Antistatic low friction fiberglasstape coated with teflon ptfe. Plastic sheets and film are polymers that supply material for injection molding machining packaging construction electronics signs and other applications. 98 of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

It s important to recognize that wear is a complex behavior that may include adhesion abrasion erosion and or fatigue. It offers high thermal chemical and solvent resistance high dielectric and antistick properties and very low coefficient of friction. 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. 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.

Plastic film is thinner and more flexible than plastic sheets and is often transparent or translucent. Low thermal conductivity is retained despite temperature variation making ptfe a good insulator. Ptfe also has excellent electrical insulating properties. These materials resist corrosion and provide electrical insulation.
