Material "S" ® is ideal for a wide range of applications in the drive and materials handling industries. It is the only material to be produced on the basis of a pure ultra-macromolecular, low-pressure polyethylene.
Its raw materials to DIN16783 and its manufacturing process - continuously optimized over more than 40 years by now - of sintering under pressure ensure that Material "S" ® retains the qualities which first opened up such a vast array of applications in mechanical engineering.
To guarantee its high quality at all times, our Material "S" ® semi-finished products are fabricated exclusively to DIN16972, Plate Group 2. Material "S" ® has high abrasion resistance, a low sliding friction coefficient, noise reduction, chemical resistance and approval for contact with food - a combination of qualities which is the ideal basis for a long, trouble and maintenance-free life in mechanical engineering applications.

Slide and wear resistance
Material "S" ® impresses by its excellent slide properties while at the same time offering high wear resistance. That means no need for additional lubrication, a reduction in your driving power requirements, and a long, maintenance-free life.
High notched bar impact strength
Material "S" ® is suitable for designs using tough-at-subzero steel until now. Its exemplary notched bar impact strength even at low temperatures makes it an economical design alternative.
Approved for contact with food
Material "S" ® is approved for direct contact with food (EU directives and FDA), physiologically safe and free of CFCs, cadmium and silicone.
|
Chemically resistant
Material "S" ® has good chemical resistance. So there is no need for additional surface protection during direct contact with chemicals, as there is with metals, for instance. It also means lower maintenance intervals than would otherwise be necessary due to corrosion.
Suitable for wet operating conditions
Material "S" ® does not absorb moisture, so does not show any dimensional fluctuations in wet operating conditions. All characteristic values remain constant.
Noise reducing
Its good noise absorption qualities mean that Material "S" ® significantly reduces any operating and impact noises. So there should be no need for costly noise absorption installations on the plant. And the goods being handled are being protected against damage, too.
No freezing or caking
Its paraffin-like surface means that Material "S" ® prevents the freezing or caking of moist goods being handled.
Insulation
Material "S" ® green and natural are both electrically and thermally insulating. Their resistance to stress corrosion ensures long-term applications and long life.
Antistatic
Material "S" ® black antistatic is used wherever antistatic qualities are required. The addition of high-conductivity carbon results in electrical charges being dissipated. Material "S" ® black is also more UV- resistant which is especially important for outdoor applications.
Our materials Original Material "S" green/natural, Original Material "S" 8000 and Original Material "S" black
are mentioned without the addition "Original" during our complete internet-presence.
