Saint-Gobain Rulon® 123 Grade Bearing/Seal PTFE

Description: Rulon® is the Saint-Gobain trade name for their family of proprietary PTFE compounds. This family of materials offers the combination of high compressive strength, low coefficient of friction, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance while running without lubrication. They are used in bearing and seal applications from temperature extremes of 400°F to over 500°F with and without additional lubricants. A unique property of Rulon® is the absence of stick slip, that is, erratic low-speed motion. PTFE = polytetrafluoroethylene123 Grade Bearing/Seal PTFE: Formulated for use against soft mating surfaces, Rulon 123 combines a high resistance to deformation with a low coefficient of frictions. It has excellent chemical resistance, is FDA, USDA, and NSF compliant. Good thermal and electrostatic dissipation. Typical applications are refrigeration valve & controls, fuel meters, and automotive electronic sensor seals. Black in color.Suitable for use in environments of steam, wet, dry, or FDA type. Mating surface of steel/stainless steel Rc 25 and higher. Material does not have electrical and thermal insulation properties. Markets for these products include Appliances, Automotive, Dairy/Food/Beverage, Document Processing Equipment, Industrial, Transportation.Information provided by Saint Gobain Performance Products.
