Ertalyte TX

ERTALYTE TX is a polyethylene terephtalate compound incorporating a uniformly dispersed solid lubricant. Its specific formulation yields a premium, internally lubricated bearing-grade. ERTALYTE TX has not only an outstanding wear resistance, but offers in comparison with ERTALYTE and even lower coefficient of friction as well as higher Pressure-Velocity capabilities.

Key Benefits:

• High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness
• Very good creep resistance
• Excellent wear resistance (comparable or even better than Nylon grades)
• Very good dimensional stability (better than polyacetal)
• Excellent stain resistance
• Better resistance to acids than nylon and polyacetal.
• Good electrical insulating properties
• Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)

Good resistance to high energy radiation (Gamma and X-rays)

Applications:

• Precision gears and bearings
• Thrust washers
• Pump components
• Slideways
• Components for mechanisms of precisions
