Turcite® A is an internally lubricated, acetal-based thermoplastic. It is available in turquoise and suited for moderate loads and speeds. Turcite® A is ideal for applications with high wear and friction requirements. It has minimal hygroscopic characteristics and low thermal expansion properties, offering high structural stability. It performs well under vibratory and dynamic loading and is easily machined. Turcite® A also offers outstanding service life, continuous maximum temperatures of 180?F and is more wear resistant than its counterpart, Turcite® X.
Long Service Life Due to Turcite® A's low water absorption, its applications retain their integrity throughout their life span, making it so that you'll spend less time and money replacing parts and products.
Low Coefficient of Friction Turcite® A offers an extremely low Coefficient of Friction (COF), due in part to its specialized self-lubricating formula. The sliding advantage produced from the dry lubricant generates a smoother, quieter operation without the need of extra product. It also ensures improved sliding behavior by offering a near-zero level of slip-stick and by eliminating backsliding issues that occur in parts that experience high-pressure conditions.
Color Turcite® A is offered in turquoise, offering a look that is visually attractive and distinct.
