Rulon series materials are polytetrafluoroethylene-based blended resins developed and produced by Saint-Gobain in France. They are high-end fluoroplastics. It is suitable for processing products such as bearings, shaft sleeves, stamped cups and seal ring components.
Features: low friction, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and maintenance-free.
Products are widely used in fields such as oil and gas, automotive, life sciences and aerospace.
Material grade | Color | Characteristic | Application |
Rulon®AR | Light maroon | More flexible than Rulon® LR | Suitable for sealing and adhering to the surface of slide rails, used for shaft seals of automobiles and cups of fuel dosing pumps. |
Rulon®LR | Maroon | Extremely strong chemical stability | Suitable for rubbing against most hard steels, can also be used on mild steels, runs better on harder surfaces. |
Rulon®J | Dark gold | Excellent friction performance | It works well on low-hardness surfaces such as 316 stainless steel, aluminum, low-hardness steel, brass, plastic, etc. It is an ideal material for bearings and wear parts. |
Rulon®641 | White | FDA certified material, excellent bearing capacity and wear resistance | Suitable for many mating surfaces, including mild steel, 303 and 316 stainless steel and hard materials, it is an ideal material for bearings in the food and pharmaceutical industries. |
Rulon®V2 | Black | Low friction, wear resistance and good heat dissipation performance | DWGV (European) certified drinking water material. Suitable for most metal and soft surfaces. |
Rulon®123 | Black | Average wear resistance, excellent chemical resistance | FDA, USDA, NSR certified materials, the price is slightly lower, and black debris will be produced after long-term use, which is not suitable for occasions that require electrical insulation. Avoid use in ultra-dry and vacuum applications. |
Rulon®488 | Dark turquoise | Ultra-low wear in extremely dry environments | Shaft sleeves widely used in drying equipment |
Rulon®957 | Speckled green | Strong carrying capacity | Noise-reducing and low-abrasion materials are widely used in commercial or residential clothes dryers. |
Rulon®XL | Brown | Wear-resistant, not easily deformed under load, excellent chemical resistance | Suitable for most mating surfaces, avoid use in alkaline environments, and is the best material for vacuum applications. |
Rulon®142 | Dark blue green | With low wear, high heat dissipation and good dimensional stability | The non-deformable feature greatly reduces the misalignment that is easy to occur when used as a bearing material. It is an ideal material for machine tools and should be avoided in strong acid and alkali environments. |
Rulon®945 | Black | Loads are not prone to wear or deformation | Suitable for hard mating surfaces such as hardened steel. It is not suitable for environments that require electrical insulation performance. |
Rulon®1045 | Dark gold | Chemical resistance, ductility and abrasion resistance | Applied to bearings or sliding surfaces |
