Polymer Tribology Performance

Self-lubricated / tribological polymers are best suited for environments in which liquid lubricants cannot be used, and maintenance-free operation is required. In addition, tribological polymers offer low wear, vibration reduction, design flexibility and lower weight. Self-lubricated polymers have found a wide range of applications in automotive, household and industrial equipment.

How can we help address your challenges with polymer tribology?


Issue

In general, conventional graphites have limited contribution to the wear reduction at high load/stress conditions, therefore wear rates can be a problem.

Solution

Superior Graphite has developed the FormulaPT™ product line to address polymer tribology. In particular, the Resilient Graphite's RGC™ and ARG™, are a unique form of graphitic engineered carbon, significantly reduces wear rates under high load/stress conditions in addition to reducing Coefficient of Friction (CoF).
