Thermoplastics can be susceptible to

wear and fatigue

Wear – 耐磨

The primary mechanism for

thermoplastic wear is adhesive wear

Frictional heat causes material to

transfer from one part to the other

Wear Additives

PTFE – 聚四氟乙烯 Carbon Fiber – 碳纤维 Graphite – 石墨粉末

• Workhorse additive

• Homogeneously mixed

thru polymer matrix

• Compatible with nearly

all thermoplastic resins

• Aqueous environments

• Excellent temperature

resistance

• Black (charcoal gray)

color

• Improved bearing

capabilities

• Electrically and

thermally conductive

• Less abrasive than

glass


Wear Additives

Silicone Aramid Fiber MoS2

• Boundary lubricant

• Excellent friction reducer

• Used with PTFE to

eliminate “break-in”

period

• Nucleating agent in

nylon: creates harder

surface

• High affinity to metal:

smoother

mating=lower wear

• Very gentle to mating

surface

• Improves wear and

friction


Wear Material Applications

Hand Held Devices

Cameras, Cell Phones,

Diagnostic Tool

Lubricated PA, PC,

PC/ABS and ABS

Gears and Lead Screw

Contact Limit Switch

• Anti-static

– Decay rate (seconds to decay)

• Static dissipative (ESD)

– Surface resistivity (ohm/square)

– Surface resistance (ohm)

• Conductive

– Volume resistivity (ohm-cm)

– Surface resistivity (ohm/square)

• EMI/RFI shielding

– Shielding effectiveness (decibels of attenuation)
