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.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent wear resistance • Reduced friction, heat build-up, noise and vibration • Improved processability and surface finish on parts • Lower power requirements and low maintenance • Design flexibility • Reduced weight APPLICATION BULLETIN SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE LubriOne™ Portfolio PA66, PA6 and Polyketone formulations with 10%–30% glass fiber reinforcement available Lubricants & Performance Lubricant Color Performance LubriOne NN PTFE Natural Shears and creates a PTFE film transferred to the matting surface.

The concentrates provide the same breathability as post-treated fabrics with no influence on tenacity and provide abrasion resistance.
Recommended use: nonwoven products that need protection from liquid (e.g., roofing underlays, tablecloths, pipe wraps, face masks) ANTIMICROBIAL Antimicrobial additives are important for nonwoven fabrics used in PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and healthcare applications.
Cesa™ antimicrobial additives for nonwovens are resistant to washing for long-lasting antimicrobial effectiveness.
