Rulon® 142
Rulon® 142 is a specially formulated, dull blue-green linear bearing material. It exhibits low wear, high thermal dissipation, and good dimensional stability characteristics.
Rulon® 142 has excellent mechanical properties and is the ideal material for machine tool applications. Its low deformation characteristics limit the amount of misalignment that can occur with other bearing materials.
- Strong acids and bases should be avoided, as they may attack the fillers.

Rulon® J (Gold)
Rulon® J is an all-polymeric reinforced, dull gold colored PTFE compound that operates exceptionally well against soft mating surfaces such as 316 stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, brass and other plastics. The unique "shaft friendly" material is also low in friction and wear and is self lubricating.
Rulon® J has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of most reinforced PTFE materials. This makes it ideally suited for start/stop applications where stick-slip must be eliminated. The tribological properties of this material also make it suitable for both bearing and wear component applications.

Rulon® LR (Maroon)
Rulon® LR is a maroon colored bearing material best known for its versatile design properties. Rulon LR is compatible with most hardened steel substrates. Mild steel is acceptable; harder running surfaces are better. Rulon® has a practically universal chemical inertness. Of the chemicals encountered in commercial practice, only molten sodium and fluorine, at elevated temperatures and pressures, show any signs of attack.

Silicon Nitride
Silicon nitride (SI3 N4) exceeds other materials in thermal shock resistance. This material does not deteriorate at high temperature, therefore it's appropriate for automotive engine and parts for gas turbine, including turbocharger rotor, glow plug of diesel engine and hot plug. It is expected that the field range this material can be applied to will widely expand.

Silicone Rubber Sheeting (Sponge Rubber)
Silicone sponge rubber materials are excellent materials for gasketing and padding applications that require a soft, compressible material. The closed and partially-open cells of these sponges prevent water absorption. These materials also provide the ozone, weather and UV resistance typical of silicone.
- Closed-cell Silicones are available in Soft, Medium, Firm and Extra-Firm densities.

![StarBoard® HDPE - Marine Sheet]( "StarBoard® HDPE - Marine Sheet")
StarBoard® HDPE - Marine Sheet
King StarBoard® is the original marine-grade polymer and the industry standard. It is the product of a proprietary process called K-Stran,™ the most advanced manufacturing process available for producing consistently flat continuous sheets. King StarBoard
is environmentally stabilized to withstand the harshest marine conditions. It will not rot or discolor like teak and other solid woods, and it will not delaminate like wood laminates. King StarBoard is easy to work with using standard woodworking tools, and design changes are a snap. In addition, the installed cost of King StarBoard is less than teak, other common marine woods, and fiberglass. Plus, our large sheet sizes maximize your yield. Boat buyers appreciate King StarBoard's low-maintenance finish. Repair and refinishing due to weathering and decay are eliminated, and cleaning is easy. King StarBoard has a handsome matte finish on both sides to hide scuffs and scratches that would show on glossy textured sheets or acrylics.

![Superthane® Polyurethane Tubing]( "Superthane® Polyurethane Tubing")
Superthane® Polyurethane Tubing
Superthane® Polyurethane Tubing - Clear Polyurethane Tubing (PUR - PU Tubing)
Superthane® Polyurethane Tubing is available in both Ester and Ether formulations. Both formulations made from non-toxic ingredients conforming to FDA standards for use with wet and fatty food contact surfaces
Superthane® Polyurethane Tubing is transparent, flexible, resilient, tough; resistant to oils, greases, and fuels. It is also extremely resistant to weathering, tearing, impact, radiation, and abrasion
Hydrolytic Stability: For resistance to moisture and fungi, SUPERTHANE Ether is recommended. (Ester polyurethane does not react well with water, prolonged humid conditions, or attack from fungi.) Ether-based SUPERTHANE also resists attack from ultra-violet rays, making it a good material for outside use.The material used in its manufacture is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 61).
SUPERTHANE PU tubing (also know as PUR tubing) is much more resistant to pressure and vacuum applications than corresponding sizes of PVC or rubber.
Although polyurethane is commonly used in fuel applications, due to additives in today's gasoline and petroleum products, field testing should be performed.
- For easy identification, SUPERTHANE is imprinted with the trademarked name.
Applications:
Cable Jacketing - Computer Disc Drives - Control Instrumentation - Granular Transfer Lines - Grease Lines - Insulating Sleeves - Metering Pumps - Nuclear Power Facilities - Oxygen & Other Gas Lines - Pressure Measuring Devices - Robotics - Slurry Transfer - Small Motor Fuel Lines - Transfer Lines for Clean Liquids - Transfer Lines for Internal Contamination Fluids - Vacuum Equipment - Washers & Bumpers

Sustamid® 6 FR Nylon
Sustamid® 6 FR Nylon is a flame-retardant polyamide 6 (PA 6). This material, which meets the relevant requirements of the new European Rail Vehicle Standard DIN EN 45545-2:2013, facilitates production of large-sized machined components and component parts in small piece numbers. With 40 percent, SUSTAMID 6 FR stands out through a very high oxygen index (LOI - Limiting Oxygen Index), and is phosphorus and halogen-free. Fire behavior is classified in accordance with UL 94 with V0. Compared to conventional materials, such as steel (7.85 g/cm3), the low density of SUSTAMID 6 FR (1.17 g/cm3) offers unequivocal benefits regarding weight and thus construction. At the same time, the material possesses a high degree of stiffness, tensile strength as well as good sliding and wear properties with simultaneously outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance.
