Cesa™ Scratch & Mar Resistance Additives Complēt™ Moisture Resistant Nylons Pipe, Fittings And Fluid Handling

The problem is that most polymer housings are not able to resist the chemicals involved in this treatment without cracking. The manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement material with excellent chemical resistance and a high flame retardant rating. Although PVC is one option, this manufacturer needed a colorable, drop-in replacement for PC/ABS.

Metal gears are susceptible to corrosion, so they degrade over time and need replacing. With a low co-efficient of friction they reduce heat build-up, noise and vibrations, and are corrosion resistant, extending part life. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent wear resistance • Reduced friction, heat build-up, noise and vibration • Improved processability and surface finish on parts • Lower power requirements and low maintenance • Design flexibility • Reduced weight APPLICATION BULLETIN SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE LubriOne™ Portfolio PA66, PA6 and Polyketone formulations with 10%–30% glass fiber reinforcement available Lubricants & Performance Lubricant Color Performance LubriOne NN PTFE Natural Shears and creates a PTFE film transferred to the matting surface.
