General Information

This thermoplastic with a semi-crystalline structure is noted for its great resistance to impact, torsion and tension. It resists abrasion, chemical agents and caustic solutions well. It has high electrical properties and exceptional mechanical properties. It has excellent sliding properties on materials such as aluminium, iron, copper and other engineering plastics (self-lubricating properties). Its hardness and rigidity is lower than polypropylene.
