Here we have a variety of granulated materials at our disposal for injection molding and semi-finished products for the machining process.

This type of material can be described as the all-rounder of our markets. Especially features such as high strength, toughness, low abrasion behaviour, and resistance to external influences are combined in one material to achieve a long lifetime in practice. Besides, POM has very good sliding properties, which makes it possible to use this material also in slide bearings<\/b>.<\/a> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStiffness and strength are also the essential characteristics of our PA materials. A major advantage here is, furthermore, the easy-flowing property which allows the production of a tread with a minimal cross-section. In addition, PA materials are also used for components with a complex geometry where high dimensional stability is required. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The high creep resistance of PET combined with long-term static loads reduces the settling behavior of plastic sheathed ball bearings<\/a> <\/strong>and minimizes stand plates and the deformation of the plastic to a barely noticeable level. PET retains a significant part of the advantages of our other plastics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
