Duratron
- Lowest wear rates and highest PV capability
- Lowest wear to mating surfaces
- Higher hardness and lower thermal expansion than other polyamides
- Better chemical resistance than other polyamides
Unfilled grade offers high purity levels. Duratron® is a fully imidized thermo set polyamides. Full imidization and encapsulation of graphite lubricants in wear grades, make Duratron® PI stronger than other polyamides and provides excellent wear characteristics.
Duratron® PI is synthesized differently than competitive polyamides resulting in:
- Improved chemical resistance
- Lower coefficient of thermal expansion
- Significantly better physical properties.
Duratron® XP (CM), Polyamides, high purity, unfilled, compression molded Duratron® XP is the first real alternative to traditional polyamides shapes. It was developed for use in extreme applications like high performance values, electronic devices and semiconductor manufacturing process equipment. Un-reinforced Duratron® XP is bright yellow in color and is easy to machine. No special tools or procedures are required. A high purity polyimide, Duratron® XP contains less than 1 ppm of metallic impurities as measured using the ICP-MS test standard. This purity is comparable to other commercially available polyamides shapes. As a result, Duratron® XP is ideal for use in high -energy gas plasma etch and strip processes. Duratron® XP is resistant to most gas plasma formulations used in semiconductor processing and meets or exceeds the performance of other polyamides shapes Duratron® 150 PI, 15% Graphite Filled, Bearing Grade, Compression Molded Polyamide Material is a fully imidized thermo set polyamide. Full imidization and encapsulation of graphite lubricants in wear grades make Duratron® PI stronger than other polyamides and provide excellent wear characteristics. Duratron® PI is synthesized differently than competitive polyamides resulting in improved chemical resistance, lower coefficient of thermal expansion and significantly better physical properties.
