High wear resistance
Long lifetime due to low wear
Extremely high resistance to chemicals
The extremely high resistance of the material to chemicals means that there is no need for additional surface protection. As a result, there is less corrosion and maintenance intervals are longer.
No moisture absorption
Extremely suited for use in wet atmospheres since all key values remain constant.
Very good impact/shock resistance
No to low tendency to fracture if impacts/shocks occur. Significant reduction in running and impact noises. Additional noise protection is therefore often not required.
Good anti-adhesion properties
Thanks to the paraffin-like surface quality, the freezing on/adhesion of conveyed goods is ruled out.
FDA-approved
All types are free of CFCs, cadmium, and silicone and meet the guidelines of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These materials are thus extremely suitable for use in the food and beverage sectors.
Electrically isolating
These materials have electrical isolation properties.
Antistatic
Special additives discharge electrostatic charges. In addition, the material is highly resistant to UV rays.
Low noise level
The damping properties of the material reduce running noises significantly in comparison with metals.
High compressive strength
Fantastic compressive strength values enable the material to be used at low temperatures and provide a cost-effective design alternative to cold-work steel.
Environmentally friendly
Highly developed, controlled conditioning processes are used to produce technically challenging materials.
Hydrolysis resistance
Extremely suitable for use in hot water or saturated steam.
Good slide properties
Suitable for dynamic use. Reduces required drive power.
Antimicrobial
Prevents growth of bacteria and microbes with an efficacy of around 99.96 to 99.99%.
UV resistance
Especially suitable for use outdoors or in other environments subject to UV radiation.
Good continuous temperature behaviour
Can be used at relatively high continuous temperatures.
Self-lubricating
Can be used without additional lubrication. Has a long, maintenance-free lifetime at low drive power thanks to optimum friction coefficients.
For use in explosion hazard areas
