Acetal C + PTFE
(Colours: Brown only)
This is a copolymer Acetal + PTFE blend, a combination of teflon fibres evenly dispersed in a copolymer acetal resin. Much of the strength that is inherent in Acetal is retained. Some properties change due to the addition of teflon fibre which is softer, less stiff and more slippery than virgin acetal resin. Compared with Acetal C and Acetal H, this material offers superior sliding properties. Bearings made of this material show low friction, long wear and are essentially free of stick-slip behaviour.
