Metal gears are susceptible to corrosion, so they degrade over time and need replacing. With a low co-efficient of friction they reduce heat build-up, noise and vibrations, and are corrosion resistant, extending part life.

This not only enhances their products by reducing weight and offering inherent corrosion resistance, but also enables OEMs to consolidate parts into one economical step and use the streamlined processing method of injection molding. Leveraging this process, these materials provide a strong and stiff final part with extreme temperature resistance. Additionally, composites are inherently corrosion-resistant and can be specifically tailored to performance requirements and cost targets.

Additional benefits include high strength and stiffness performance, creep resistance, fatigue endurance, elevated and low temperature performance, dimensional stability, and corrosion and chemical resistance. Very good corrosion and chemical resistance Custom formulated and pre-colored Complēt™ long glass fiber reinforced ETPU composite offered corrosion resistance while matching the structural capabilities of metal fasteners

Disinfectant Resistant Trilliant™ and Versaflex™ HC Materials Pipe, Fittings And Fluid Handling Exercise & Fitness

CFRP materials are highly regarded for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, stiffness and durability. Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins, CFRP products do not rust or corrode and in turn have a longer product lifetime than typical metal materials.  The superior strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and ability to adhere to concrete make carbon fiber composites an excellent material for infrastructure applications that require strength and durability.  

GLS TPEs are generally non-abrasive and non-corrosive. Better corrosion resistance. Tough corrosion resistant material.

These materials are semi-crystalline and deliver excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, and dimensional stability similar to nylon (PA6 and PA66). KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Chemical resistance • Maintaining high impact performance at low temperatures • Low moisture uptake • Dimensional stability comparable to nylon • Higher impact resistance than short fiber alternatives • Eco-conscious alternative to nylons • More cost-effective solution than specialty nylons • Available in non-PFAS* formulations to achieve UL 94 V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These materials are for use in applications traditionally made of metal requiring moisture, chemical and cold impact performance requirements, including: • Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management • Electrical & Electronics – connectors, battery components, battery housings • Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/ chemical contact components, non-structural interior components • Oil & Gas – fuel pump components, fuel doors PRODUCT BULLETIN * Non-PFAS flame-retardant (FR) grades are manufactured without intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials.
