| • |
The material retains well balanced mechanical properties over extended use and a wide temperature range. These properties include tensile strength, elongation, and impact strength. |
| • |
Superior creep resistance is exhibited over a wide temperature range for extended periods under load. |
| • |
Exceptional fatigue resistance is possessed. No fatigue is exhibited in use under repetitive stress and continuous vibration, and stable performance is maintained. |
| • |
High elastic modulus and superior elastic recovery are exhibited, in addition to creep and fatigue resistance, making the material the material of choice by far for springs. |
| • |
Amongst thermoplastics, the material has the most exceptional friction and wear properties, and exhibits superior tribological properties over extended use. In addition, it is self-lubricating, and used widely in non-lubricated components. |
| • |
Besides having superior short-term thermal properties such as melting point and DTUL, unrivalled long-term durability is exhibited in hot air and hot water environments. |
| • |
Dimensional variance as a result of water absorption is minimal, and for all intents and purposes does not present a problem. |
| • |
Other than acids and chemicals with a strong oxidizing effect, excellent durability with regards to inorganic chemicals and oils is shown. |
| • |
Possessing superior flowability and beautiful surface gloss, the material has excellent processability. |
| • |
A variety of value-added processes are possible, including insert molding, outsert molding, cutting work, bonding, and printing.
