Automotive materials

The economic solution for large volumes. Used in applications with low glide paths but high static loads, like for instance in seat systems. Suitable for e-coating
T: -40°C/+100°C
F: 80 MPa

The all-rounder. Similar mechanical properties like iglidur® GLW, but with clearly higher wear resistance. Typical applications are convertible top systems and fittings. Suitable for e-coating
T: -40 °C/+130 °C
F: 80 MPa

The material with the most favorable coefficients of friction in dry operation. Thereby well suited for all short-term fast-rotating applications in seat adjustment and mirror drives. Good glide partner also for all "soft" materials", operates even with aluminum die casting.
T: -50 °C/+90 °C
F: 35 MPa

The conductive material for all applications with e-coating. Typical applications are found in seat and convertible top systems.
T: -40 °C/+130 °C
F: 45 MPa

The bearing for all applications in the engine compartment. Resistant to fuels, transmission oils and brake fluids. Minimum moisture absorption. Typical applications are throttle valves, intake tubes, transmission actuators, etc.
T: -40°C/+200°C
F: 65 MPa

High temperature material, can also be coated with PA or PPS materials. Offers good tribological properties also with GF reinforced plastics. Low e-module in spite of high compressive strength. Ideal in applications with high loads and misalignments, e.g. in hydraulic platforms in utility vehicles.
T: -100 °C/+250 °C
F: 150 MPa
