Low-friction plastics are self-lubricating materials with exceptional slide qualities, which produce flawless gliding performance. Here is how such materials can be essential components of tough application areas including conveyor systems, bearings, and industrial machinery.
Polytetrafluoroethylene, also known as PTFE, is frequently used in sliding applications because of its low coefficient of friction. In addition to PTFE, the traditional bearing and wear materials made of polyimide, PEEK, PPS, Nylon, Acetal, and polyester are also renowned for their good sliding friction capabilities.
The Global Low Friction Plastic market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Low friction plastic was introduced by CELANESE. These specialized plastics with low wear and friction are designed for sliding and moving parts used in anything from conveyors to automobiles to orthopedic implants. In order for OEMs to meet consumer demand and maintain their competitiveness, it is more difficult to create smaller, tougher, higher performing goods quickly and cost effectively.
To meet the most demanding tribological requirements of our customers, Celanese has created the broadest, most technologically sophisticated engineering polymer platform.
This platform keeps improving in terms of strength, durability, and wear. Because there are so many factors outside of the system that can affect tribological behavior, Celanese experts consult with producers to identify the most appropriate advanced engineering polymers for each application.
As a result of the exacting requirements used in the development of Celanese polymers, moving parts produce minimal to no noise, minimum friction, and can tolerate high temperatures, chemical contact, and speeds.
Additionally, by using these polymers, producers can do away with oil, grease, or other lubrication additives, which removes dust and filth and enhances mechanical performance and service life.
The most cutting-edge engineering polymers are included in the Celanese tribology product line to satisfy rising trends in a variety of industry categories, such as stronger, more adaptable conveyor systems for manufacturers and lighter, more durable bearings and bushings for consumer goods.
