LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations For Conveyor Belt Gears With high strength and durability, metal has been a reliable material for machinery parts for centuries, however, more commonly traditional materials are being replaced by plastic alternatives that offer performance, cost and sustainability benefits. With only one machine required for production of a plastic gear, these formulations can reduce manufacturing steps, processing time and material costs.

Because every pound of scrap can lead to higher costs and the potential loss of hard-earned customers, the Avient team worked overtime to develop a formulation that could be easily integrated into the manufacturer’s production lines.

The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. The Avient team worked carefully to develop a compound that could utilize existing tooling to avoid additional tooling costs.

This often causes additional damage to the motor’s lower unit, costing up to several thousand dollars to repair. Changing a damaged or broken blade is more cost- effective than replacing an entire propeller—or even worse, a lower unit—due to underwater impact.

These characteristics offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and PA6) and acetal (POM). KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Inherently low COF • Excellent wear resistance • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Excellent dimensional stability • Cost-effective • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66, PA6 and POM MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These materials are ideal for use in applications requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).

These properties offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost- competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative to nylons. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Comparable dimensional stability to nylon • Reinforced with 10–40% short glass fiber • High impact and wear resistance • Cost competitive • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6 • Non-halogen, flame retardant performance MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These glass-reinforced materials meet the challenges found in chemical, fuel contact, and high moisture environments. • Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management • Electrical/Electronics – connectors, battery components • Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/ chemical components PRODUCT BULLETIN PROPERTY COMPARISON — EDGETEK™ PKE FORMULATIONS VS NYLON 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
