 | Ryertex Grade C
Unbleached medium-weave cotton fabric makes this one of the most popular phenolic laminates. Strong and tough, with outstanding compressive strength and good machinability. Excellent wear and abrasion resistance with low coefficient of friction. Also stocked with graphite addition (Ryertex CG), reducing the need for lubricants. |
| Ryertex Grade CE
Combines good tensile strength and high compressive strength with Class A electrical insulation values and low water absorption. Easy to machine. Medium weave, bleached cotton fabric. |
| Ryertex Grade CG
Grade CG performs well in applications where oil or grease lubrication is maintained. The internally dispersed graphite aids lubrication and wearabllity compared to grade C. Ideal for pivot or king pin bearings in construction equipment and machinery. Ryertex grade CG is black in color. |
| Ryertex Grade CW
Copper screening every 1/8′′ through thickness of heavy-duty canvas dissipates heat better than Ryertex C. |
| Ryertex Grade G10
Outstanding mechanical properties from medium weave fabric base and epoxy resin. Impressive 55000 psi tensile strength and 65000 psi compressive strength. Class B electrical insulation at temperatures to 325°F. Low water absorption. |
| Ryertex Grade LE
A finer weave cotton fabric with 40% higher tensile strength than CE. Great for smaller electrical parts requiring more intricate machining. Class A Insulation with low moisture absoprtion. |
| Ryertex 223
For all types of marine bearing applications. Modified resin for less water absorption. |
| Ryertex JTR 726
JTR 726 is a laminated phenolic material that is manufactured using a combination of a paper based core and a woven glass fabric on both sides. This thermoset material has a smooth, glossy, resin-rich surface on both sides that machines or routes to a very fine finish. |
 | Polycarbonate
This is the toughest transparent plastic produced. Outstanding impact strength (it′s unbreakable) makes it the material of choice for many industrial applications. Has good electrical insulation properties and low moisture absorption. Resistant to both heat and flame, polycarbonates are dimensionally stable and are generally unaffected by greases, oils and acids. Weatherability is good, but not as good as acrylics. Ultraviolet rays cause slight discoloring and embrittlement. |
| ABS
ABS provides abrasion, moisture and creep resistance as well as good chemical and stress-cracking resistance to inorganic salt solution, alkalies, and many acids. Superb electrical properties. Two grades are available: extruded vacuum formable and annealed.
A flame retardant V-O rated ABS is also available. |
| HDPE
HDPE (high density polyethylene) has a higher density and more rigidity than the low density grade and has good impact and abrasion resistance with continuous heat to 180°F. Choose the stress relieved stock if you plan to heat-form or machine the sheet. |
| PET
A preferred replacement for acetal where there is a concern for dimensional stability after machining. P.E.T. has excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction, in addition to a very low water absorption rate and being FDA compliant. The low moisture characteristic makes P.E.T. ideal for electrical applications. The outstanding hardness and stiffness properties along with good chemical resistance enables P.E.T. to be the answer to many applications. |
| High Impact Polystyrene
Polystyrene is formulated to provide excellent toughness, stiffness and impact strength. It will meet a wide variety of applications as it is a very versatile and inexpensive plastics. As an amorphous thermoplastic material, it is easily fabricated by drilling, routing, sawing, die cutting or thermoforming. |
| UHMW
An exceptionally tough plastic that holds up, even after repeated impact. For example, it doesn′t break under IZOD impact testing. Abrasion resistance is extraordinary, with low friction under load. Virgin Grade UHMW is also exceptionally resistant to chemical attack including organic solvents. It′s easily machined, self-lubricating and absorbs almost no water. Has high dielectric strength, but only moderate compression strength. |
| Acetal
Like nylon, acetal plates are tough enough and strong enough to replace metal. Acetal parts are more dimensionally stable under wet or humid conditions due to lower water absorption. And acetal resists most organic solvents. Available in: Delrin, a homopolymer (trademark of E.I. DuPont) or in an acetal copolymer. |
| Nylon
Nylon is a versatile and popular engineering plastic with outstanding hardness and tensile strength plus superior wear resistance. A low coefficient of friction is another advantage along with heat resistance as high as 230°F in some grades. |
| Polyurethane
Unbeatable for the toughest impact and abrasion applications. Stands up to severe pounding, heavy abrasion and gouging. Never breaks in Izod impact testing. Also bears up under high loads and shock without deforming. Superior resistance to oils, gasoline and solvents. Handles temperatures of 225°F. Highly resistant to sunlight and weathering. |
| Teflon
Offers you a combination of properties at the top of the scale. For starters, Teflon is nearly inert to chemicals and solvents. It operates safely to 500°F and retains its toughness and flexibility even at very low temperature in the cryogenic range. On top of that, Teflon has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid and one of the lowest thermal expansion rates. It is self-lubricating, with outstanding weatherability and moisture resistance. A relatively low tensile and compressive strength is about its only limitation. Specify the electrical grade for excellent dielectric properties. Teflon is a tradename of E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. |
