CHARACTERISTICS
Thermoplastic known for its extreme toughness, outstanding abrasion resistance, low friction, and high impact strength, making it ideal for applications requiring durability and wear resistance.
Highly resistant to abrasion, meaning it can withstand friction and wear over time.
Resistant to impact, chemicals including corrosive substances.
Absorbs very little moisture.
Can be easily fabricated into many shapes.
Food Contact Grade; Meets FDA and USDA requirements for direct food contact, making it suitable for food processing and handling applications.
Lightweight material.
Non-sticking and Self-lubricating.
DISADVANTAGES
Poor Dimensional Stability; it expands and contracts significantly with temperature changes, leading to poor dimensional stability.
Can withstand cold temperatures, it becomes brittle at very low temperatures and can soften or lose strength at elevated temperatures.
Is more expensive than other plastics like HDPE, making it a less cost-effective option for certain applications.
Flammable.
Susceptible to stress cracking and degradation when exposed to UV radiation and other environmental factors.
