Note

• ᵍ Measurements made from Laboratory test Coupon. Actual shrinkage may vary outside of range due to differences in processing conditions, equipment, part geometry and tool design. It is recommended that mold shrinkage studies be performed with surrogate or legacy tooling prior to cutting tools for new molded article.
• ᵖ UL ratings shown on the technical datasheet might not cover the full range of thicknesses and colors. For details, please see the UL Yellow Card.
• ⁷ Injection Molding parameters are only mentioned as general guidelines. These may not apply or may need adjustment in specific situations such as low shot sizes, large part molding, thin wall molding and gas-assist molding.
• ¹¹ The information stated on Technical Datasheets should be used as indicative only for material selection purposes and not be utilized as specification or used for part or tool design.

Technical Details & Test Data

LNP™ Compounds Wear and Friction Solutions Bearings, Bushings, Cams and Sliders

At the push of a button, windows move, doors lock, copies get made, and HVAC comes to life. These electromotive actions require gears, bearings, bushings and other wear surfaces to provide smooth, reliable, actuation forces. LUBRICOMP™ and LUBRILOY™ compounds can help deliver the high quality performance required.

Thermoplastic Bearings

While resistance to wear is important for thermoplastic bushings/bearings, low friction can be more important. Heat generated from friction is often the limiting factor in plastic bearing applications. The operating load (P) and speed (V) of the application can be compared to the allowable, or “Limiting PV” of a candidate material. The data shown below was generated using a cylindrical half bearing test configuration, but modern thrust washer testers can be used to develop PV maps as well.

Internally Lubricated Compounds

The addition of an internal lubricant to a thermoplastic material can improve the wear resistance and reduce the coefficient of friction in plastic parts. Traditional lubricants like MoS2 , PTFE and PTFE/Si blends are common, with reinforcements like glass and carbon fiber adding strength and modulus. High temperature resins are sometimes required to resist deformation from friction generated heat.
