Ertalyte™ TX PET-P
Polyethylene TerephthalateErtalyte™ TX PET-P is a premium internally lubricated bearing grade that exhibits superior dimensional stability and wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength and rigidity, outstanding stain resistance and great chemical and abrasion resistance. Due to Ertalyte™ TX PET-P's low moisture absorption rate, this grade’s mechanical and electrical properties are unaffected by moisture, which gives this grade better wear and inertness over nylon and acetal products and also a lower wear rate than unmodified polyesters. These characteristics make Ertalyte™ TX PET-P ideal for use in applications that involve high pressure and velocity conditions and environments with soft metal and plastic mating surfaces where noise abatement is critical.
