PolyTel Engineered Plastics
PolyTel™ Engineered Plastics
Operational parameters are more demanding with higher pressures, larger temperature extremes, and more aggressive media than ever before. We understand that it can be difficult to find the correct seal or bearing material to work in these conditions. Backed with over 50 years of sealing knowledge, we are ready to combat this challenge with you.
Our PolyTel™ engineered thermoplastic materials are developed to be used in bearing applications and to support and protect sealing elements from extreme conditions such as high pressures, large extrusion clearance gaps, and hardware deflections.
PolyTel™ Materials Provide:
- Low friction
- Good chemical resistance
- Good specific bearing loads
- Good wear resistance
Below is a list of PolyMod® Technologies’ popular PolyTel™ compounds. Specific materials are normally suggested by our Technical Service Team based upon your input and operational conditions. This list does not include all materials, other specialty compounds are available for specific applications. Please reach out to us today for any further assistance.
