The top 5 durable plastics<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

When you have\u00a0plastic made to measure, it is important to select plastic material with the right properties for your application. A material property which is frequently required is wear resistance.<\/p>\n

Durable plastics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wear resistance can be put into two categories: durability and robustness. Or to be more precise: low friction combined with a long lifespan, which is important for bearings, for example. Wear-resistant plastics have several advantages over metal or bronze equivalents, such as high dynamic load capacity, good dry-running properties, weight, chemical resistance, and cost price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top 5 wear-resistant plastics and their characteristics are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Polyamide (PA)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polyamide (PA)<\/a>, also called Nylon, is one of the most commonly used wear-resistant plastics<\/strong>. It is widely used and can be universally applied. For example, PA is extensively used in the production process for manufacturing wear-resistant plates, gears and bearings. It has a relatively high rigidity, is excellent for heavy dynamic loads, and has good vibration-damping capacity. Its temperature range is between -40\u00b0 to +100\u00b0C. Polyamide will not deteriorate quickly and most variants can withstand high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because PA is available in many variants with specific additives, this is a widely applicable material for your application. The most commonly used variants are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
