Turcite® X is an internally lubricated, acetal-based thermoplastic. It is available in red and suited for low loads and high speeds. Turcite® X is ideal for applications with high wear and friction requirements. It has minimal hygroscopic characteristics and low thermal expansion properties, offering high structural stability. Turcite® X also offers outstanding service life, extremely low Coefficient of Friction, and continuous maximum temperatures of 180°F, but is less wear resistant than Turcite® A.
Long Service Life Due to low water absorption of turcite material, its applications retain their integrity throughout their life span, making it so you'll spend less time and money replacing parts and products.
Low Coefficient of Friction Turcite® X 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® X is offered in red, offering a look that is visually attractive and distinct.
