Ertalyte® TX PET-P
Ertalyte® TX Polyethylene Terephthalate Polyester PET 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’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 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.
    Material properties
  • High mechanical strength, stiffness, and hardness
  • Very good creep resistance
  • Low and constant coefficient of friction
  • Excellent wear resistance (comparable to or even better than Nylon grades)
  • Very good dimensional stability (better than Polyacetal)
  • Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
Ertalyte® TX Food Grade PET-P
Ertalyte® TX Food Grade PET-P is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline grade that exhibits superior dimensional stability, excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength and rigidity, outstanding stain resistance, and great chemical and abrasion resistance. Due to its low moisture absorption rate, this grade’s mechanical and electrical properties are unaffected by moisture, which gives this grade better wear and inertness than nylon and acetal products, as well as a lower wear rate than unmodified polyesters. Due to these characteristics, and this grade’s FDA (compositional FDA 21 CFR § 177.2470) and EU 10/2011 food compliant composition, Ertalyte® TX Food Grade PET-P components are a favored solution 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.
    Material properties
  • Superior dimensional stability
  • Low moisture absorption rate ensures consistent mechanical and electrical performance
