Description: Rulon® is the Saint-Gobain trade name for their family of proprietary PTFE compounds. This family of materials offers the combination of high compressive strength, low coefficient of friction, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance while running without lubrication. They are used in bearing and seal applications from temperature extremes of 400°F to over 500°F with and without additional lubricants. A unique property of Rulon® is the absence of stick slip, that is, erratic low-speed motion. PTFE = polytetrafluoroethylene
957 Grade Bearing/Seal PTFE: Low friction/wear against coated metal or porcelain surfaces. Appropriate mating surfaces are steel, Rc 25 or higher, or painted metal/porcelain. Suitable for use in environments of steam, wet, dry, or vacuum type. Green in color. Material has electrical and thermal insulation properties.
