pale grey
Stock
shapes made of crystalline thermoplastic polyester,
trade names Ertalyte (virgin grade) and Ertalyte TX
(bearing grade). Polyester PET Rod is a good alternative to Delrin, mainly due to the fact it absorbs less moisture, and so therefore holds it shape much more easily.
Ertalyte Main Characteristics
- High
mechanical strength
- Very
good creep resistance
- Low
and constant coefficient of friction
- Excellent
wear resistance (comparable to or even better than
nylon grades)
- Very
good dimensional stability (better than polyacetal)
- Physiologically
inert (suitable for food contact)
- Excellent
stain resistance
- Better
resistance to acids than nylon and polyacetal
- Good
electrical insulating properties
- Good
resistance against high energy radiation (gamma-and
X-rays)
Ertalyte Applications
Heavily loaded bearing (bushings, thrust washers, guides, etc) dimensionally stable parts for mechanisms of precision (bushings, slideways, gears, rollers, pump components), insulating components for electrical engineering.

Ertalyte
(PET) natural / black
The
specific properties of this virgin crystalline Polyester
PET make it especially suitable for the manufacture of
mechanical precision parts which have to sustain high
loads and/or are subject to wear.
Ertalyte
TX (PET + solid lubricant) pale grey
Ertalyte
TX is a polyethylene terephtalate compound incorporating
a uniformly dispersed solid lubricant. Its specific
formulation yields a premium, internally lubricated
bearing-grade Polyester. Ertalyte TX Polyester has not
only an outstanding wear resistance, but offers in comparison
with Ertalyte an even lower coefficient of friction
as well as higher Pressure-Velocity capabilities.
