Teflon and Nylon

Polyamide

Polyamides, also commonly known as nylon.

Polyamide PA6 is a standard multi purpose grade which offers a good combination of Mechanical stability, Impact resistance and Dampening, but much lower resistance to casting grade.

Applications – Parts that are subject to shock and impact, Hammerheads, Gears, Wheels, etc.

Cast Polyamide

This grade is processed by casting and is denoted by the suffix ‘G’. These are produced for higher thicknesses and larger diameters.

This grade exhibits high Mechanical strength, Stiffness, Heat, Impact strength, Creep resistance and wear resistance.

Polyamide PA6G is a standard cast grade for components in machine and equipment designs that are subject to wear.

PVC-U (HardPVC) is an amorphous thermoplastic with no added plasticizer. It has high hardness and rigidity. According to DIN 16 927 the material is classified as normal shock resistant, however its toughness values border on being rated as highly shock resistant, which gives it a high degree of safety in regards to the design of components. PVC-U is a flame retardant material with an exceptional chemical resistance and also lower stress cracking. It shows high mechanical strength, tensile strength and works with a continues operating temperature of -15°C to +60°C. It can be easily glued and welded.

PVC-U is not subject to any major sliding abrasion and is thus not suitable for use in sliding applications.

PVC-U is resistant to acids, alkaline solutions, alcohols, oils, fats, aliphatic hydrocarbons and petrol.

PVC-U is not resistant to benzol, chlorinated hydrocarbon, ketones or esters. In combination with strong oxidizing materials (e.g., nitric acid or chromic acid), there is a danger of stress corrosion cracking. 

Color: Grey (RAL 7011)

Applications – Pump parts, fittings, valve bodies, component parts in chemical plant construction, feed tables, machine and equipment coverings, gaskets, bearing cages, pipes liners, lamp boxes etc..

Teflon (PTFE) rods and sheets are high-performance engineering plastics known for near-universal chemical resistance, extremely low friction (0.05-0.08), and a wide operating temperature range from

-260∘Cnegative 260 raised to the composed with power C

−260∘C to

+260∘Cpositive 260 raised to the composed with power C

+260∘C. They are widely used for machined components, including gaskets, bearings, and electrical insulators, available in virgin (pure) and filled grades (glass, carbon, bronze) to improve mechanical strength 

Key properties of PTFE Rods

• Coefficient of friction is incredibly low.

• Maximum working temperature of – 200°C to +260°C (+300°C for short periods)

• Outstanding electrical insulation properties

• Minimal moisture absorption

• Highly Chemical & Acid resistant.

• Highly UV resistant

• PTFE is one of the most thermally stable plastic materials.

• Food approved & non toxic
