18 low friction plastic sheet.

F f frictional force n lb. Item 491792 model hslw12 400. Dupont works with parts makers and manufacturers worldwide to make moving parts last longer and work better in applications from automotive drivetrains to conveyors to photovoltaic systems. The sliding advantage produced.

Lowest friction available tivar hpv features the lowest coefficient of friction cof available for any uhmw grade due in part to a specialized built in dry lubricant formula. It s important to recognize that wear is a complex behavior that may include adhesion abrasion erosion and or fatigue. Plastic film is thinner and more flexible than plastic sheets and is often transparent or translucent. Plastic sheets and film are polymers that supply material for injection molding machining packaging construction electronics signs and other applications.

N normal force between the surfaces n lb there are at least two types of friction forces. Plastics are also grouped by stock. F f μ n 1. The friction force is the force exerted by a surface when an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.

μ static μ s or kinetic μ k frictional coefficient. The opaque white uhmw sheet has a standard tolerance and meets american society for testing and materials astm d4020 specifications. Parts made from low friction polymers can help products last longer with less maintenance. In addition to ptfe the classic bearing and wear materials made of polyimide peek pps nylon acetal and polyester are also known for their good sliding friction properties.

Ensinger offers a variety of wear resistant plastic materials many of which have their friction properties. Mcmaster carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595 000 products. Plastic films have a thickness of 0 040 or less while plastic sheets have a thickness greater than 0 040. Driving longer product life with low friction plastic.

These materials resist corrosion and provide electrical insulation. Due to its low coefficient of friction ptfe polytetrafluoroethylene is often used for sliding applications. Film stock is used for smaller strips whereas sheet stock for much wider applications. 12 ft x 400 ft clear 0 31 mil plastic sheeting.

Low friction additives such as ptfe oil carbon fiber and graphite powder can also significantly improve the wear performance of these polymers under certain conditions.
