Wear-Resistant Plastics That Really Take the Heat
Some of the most demanding uses for plastics include high-performance bearings, gears, washers, slides and seal rings. They have to withstand high temperature, wear, load and aggressive chemicals in both dry and lubricated environments.
Solvay’s newly expanded line of wear-resistant plastics are formulated to give you just the right combination of mechanical and tribological properties. This, combined with inherent heat and chemical resistance, makes them an effective alternative to metal in high-temperature friction and wear applications. Their many distinctive performance attributes include:
- Long-term use from 120-265°C
- Short-term use up to 280°C
- Dry and lubricated environments
- Self-lubricating for longer life
- Lighter weight and less noise
- Non-corrosive and non-galling

More Design Freedom
Our wear-resistant thermoplastics are available in a wide variety of stock shapes that can be readily machined for prototyping and low-volume production. These materials can also be processed using conventional injection molding techniques for high-volume production.
