Zellamid® 1400 is the registered trademark of Zell-Metalls partly crystalline thermoplastic Polyester based on Polyethylene Terephthalate. This PETP features outstanding dimensional stability, as it is virtually unaffected by ambient moisture. A low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance combined with low creep and high modulus make this the choice material for moving parts. Hot water resistance is low. Zellamid® 1400 is produced without centerline porosity. This material exhibits properties which make it suited to particular applications, especially high precision components. Typical applications are components for foodprocessing machines, mandrels, liquid and gas proof parts, electrical engineering and all parts where Acetals microporosity in the centerline is not desirable. For friction applications we offer Zellamid® 1400T (PETP with a solid lubricant) which shows a significantly reduced friction coefficient and increased resistance to wear. |
