PET-GL - polyethylene terephthalate internally lubricated
PET-GL is an internally lubricated thermoplastic polyester providing enhanced wear and inertness over general purpose nylon (PA) and acetal (POM) products. Containing uniformly dispersed solid lubricant, PET-GL provides a lower wear rate and coefficient of friction than unmodified polyesters like PET or PBT and even internally lubricated materials like Delrin® AF blend.
PET-GL excels under both high pressure and velocity conditions. It is also ideally suited for applications involving soft metal and plastic mating surfaces.
- Manifolds machined
- Food manufacturing and processing equipment
- Carousel
- Filter Track
- Locating Disk
- Rings
- Good for both wet and dry environments
- High strength and rigidity -- ideal for close tolerance parts
- Excellent stain resistance
- Good wear resistance and excellent dimensional stability
- Better resistance to acids than nylon or acetal
Engineering plastics and their products can be ordered from TechPlasty. Materials in the same group from different manufacturers are not always directly interchangeable because they may not all have the same technical parameters. Our technical consultants, who have many years of experience in the field of engineering plastics, will be pleased to advise you on the differences in the individual materials, especially in the boundary conditions. Detailed technical data of individual manufacturers' materials can be found in their data sheets.
