Ertalyte® TX is a polyethylene terephthalate compound incorporating a uniformly dispersed solid lubricant. Its specific formulation makes it a premium internally lubricated bearing grade. Ertalyte® TX not only has got an outstanding wear resistance, but offers in comparison with Ertalyte® an even lower coefficient of friction as well as higher pressure-velocity capabilities.
Additionally, Ertalyte® TX stock shapes are also available in our Food Grade programme, which means that they can be supplied with a declaration of compliance, confirming they comply with the requirements mentioned in the European Regulations (EC) No 1935/2004 and (EU) 10/2011. The composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of Ertalyte® TX stock shapes also comply with the regulations of the United States of America [FDA] for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- Exceptional wear resistance (superior to Ertalyte)
- Less and more uniform friction coefficient
- It stands out in situations of high pressure and high speed
- Self-lubricating composition, therefore less sensitive to the "stick-slip"
- Physiologically inert
- Very low thermal expansion
- Very low moisture absorption
ApPLICATIONS
- Bushes with high speeds
- Guides
- Wear parts with heavy loads
