Material: PET-P - Ertalyte®

Ertalyte® offers a unique combination of physical properties compared to nylon or acetal. It has better wear and abrasion resistance, wet or dry, as well as significantly better dimensional stability. Physiologically inert as well ie suitable for food contact. Ideal for tight tolerance machined parts which have to sustain high loads and/or are subject to wear.
