LATI LATILUB 87/28-12T Polycarbonate (PC), 12% PTFE Self Lubricating Plastic  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC); Polycarbonate, PTFE Filled

Material Notes: Description: Latilub self-lubricating plastic materials are more and more often designed to replace metals in applications such as gears, bushings, cams, slides, etc), for which, besides their intrinsic properties (moldability, low cost, lightness, high mechanical properties), low friction coefficient and low wear are required.

Specific Notes for this Material: polycarbonate base (PC); 12% PTFE; good wear resistance.

Disclaimer from LATI: This document contains information based on average values as obtained from the results of laboratory tests and observations made on LATI materials. Tested materials were injection molded, used in their natural color, and conditioned in compliance with Standard ASTM D 618, procedure A. These values refer to LATI's best technical and scientific knowledge at the moment of testing and cannot be used as a basis for the development of applications. For a better assessment of the materials, you are kindly requested to contact LATI's technical or commercial offices, which are at your disposal and will supply detailed information on the most suitable characteristics for their intended use. With reference to DPR n.224 dated May 24, 1988, issued in accordance with EC Guide-lines 85/374, LATI Industria Termoplastici S.p.A. declines all responsibility arising from an improper use of the products described in this document.
