With the development of the plastics industry, more and more companies and institutions are focusing on plastic modification, co-polymerization and blending, and many high-performance engineering plastics emerged. Turcite® A and Turcite® X are two of them. Turcite®A and Turcite® are thermoplastic self-lubricating bearing materials produced by Variseal in the United States. This series of materials has the advantages of low cost, chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and the maximum temperature of continuous operation is 82℃.
Turcite® A and Turcite® X are modified materials based on polyoxymethylene. Through co-polymerization and blending with polytetrafluoroethylene and other materials, the structure of the material is optimized, and the excellent properties of the material are retained and brought into play, especially Wear-resistant and self-lubricating performance, its performance can be compared with DuPont Delrin AF. Currently, Turcite® series materials only provide rods, no plates.
Turcite® A is blue, and some customers directly call it blue glue or blue glue stick. Suitable for use in environments from medium to heavy loads and speeds, with high wear resistance and excellent service life.
Turcite® X is red, and some customers directly call it red glue or red glue stick. Suitable for use in low-load and high-speed environments, high wear resistance and long life enable it to maintain integrity throughout the entire application cycle and save maintenance costs.
The excellent self-lubricating and maintenance-free properties of Turcite® A and Turcite® X make them widely used in microelectronic equipment.
