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
YOUR GLOBAL COMPOUNDER OF CUSTOM ENGINEERED THERMOPLASTICS
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
