HPV13 is a brown homopolymer acetal with an internal PTFE lubricant. Its low coefficient of friction, excellent PV values, toughness, wear resistance, and machinability make it an exceptional material for use in many industrial and military components with moving parts. Additionally, HPV13 has superior chemical resistance and flexural fatigue properties, as well as low moisture absorption associated with acetal materials,
Overview:
PTFE-filled Acetal (also known as PTFE-enhanced POM or PTFE-blended acetal) is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for applications requiring low friction, enhanced wear resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. By incorporating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) into the acetal matrix, this material combines the strength and machinability of acetal with the superior lubricity of PTFE.
Key Features:
Low Coefficient of Friction: Excellent for sliding applications, reducing the need for external lubrication.
Improved Wear Resistance: Outperforms standard acetal in high-load, high-cycle environments.
Dimensional Stability: Maintains tight tolerances and mechanical integrity over time.
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to fuels, solvents, and many chemicals.
Machinability: Easy to machine with excellent surface finish.
Typical Applications:
Bushings and bearings
Gears and wear pads
Conveyor components
Sliding parts in food processing and packaging
Automotive and industrial machinery components
Available Forms:
Rods
Sheets
Tubes
