Imagine injection moldable compounds that perform under the extreme conditions
of high temperature, high loads, and high speeds that advanced applications
demand. At RTP Company, we not only imagined them, we’ve made them a reality.
Previously, thermoplastics were not thought capable of meeting the high PV and
temperature requirements of demanding applications. This belief led manufacturers
to use costly alternatives that need to be machined from stock shapes or require
extensive annealing.
RTP Company’s injection moldable Ultra
Wear and Friction Resistant compounds
(Ultra Wear) have been tested and shown
to perform under demanding high PV and
temperature conditions.
By leveraging synergistic wear additive
technologies combined with high temperature, and chemically resistant, PEEK, PPA,
and PPS resins, RTP Company’s Ultra
Wear products are exciting OEMs with a
new class of materials they can deploy.
Industry leading comprehensive side-by-side testing against incumbent
thermoset materials at PVs up to 100,000 and temperatures up to 400°F (205°C) has
proven Ultra Wear compounds provide competitive wear and friction performance.
Ultra Wear compounds offer benefits that can’t be obtained with thermoset
alternatives. Lower overall material cost, better mechanical properties, and
processing via injection molding provide design freedoms unobtainable when
machining stock shapes and also significantly reduces production time
and costs.
RTP Company is uniquely positioned to offer the broadest range of Ultra Wear
compounds in the industry through our unbiased approach to resin and additive
selection that results in materials customized to meet your application requirements.
