Description: PA 6 features high strength, stiffness, and hardness. This material is characterized by high wear resistance and a low coefficient of sliding friction (~ 0.4), as well as good thermal stability (operating range: -40°C to 110°C).
In general, this material offers excellent sliding and friction properties. PA is therefore a high-quality yet cost-effective technical plastic for sliding applications in mechanical engineering.
Description: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene provides excellent resistance to abrasive wear, very good impact strength, and is oxidation-resistant.
It is particularly suitable for hydrostatic water applications and ceramic coatings. UHMW-PE is generally recognized as safe for food contact applications. (GRAS)
