Is Rulon a PTFE?
Rulon® W2 is a black PTFE-based Carbon Filled polymer material solution developed for use in fresh-water applications. It exhibits low friction and excellent wear characteristics (one of the lowest wear rates in fresh water) as well as good thermal dissipation, preventing shaft distress.
Is Rulon j FDA approved?
Rulon J, gold, polymer filled for more abrasion resistance and softer mating surface. Rulon 641, white, U.S. Food and Drug Administration compliant. Rulon W2, used in fresh water applications. Rulon 123, FDA compliant with low and consistent friction characteristics.
What is Rulon LR?
Rulon® LR is a maroon colored bearing material best known for its versatile design properties.It is compatible with most hardened steel substrates. Mild steel is acceptable; harder running surfaces are better. Rulon® has a practically universal chemical inertness.
Who owns Rulon?
Wayne Robison
A St. Augustine manufacturing company is turning scrapwood into toy guitars for children around the world.In 2016, Wayne Robison, Rulon International’s president and CEO, came up with the idea to turn scrap into 10,000 guitars and donate them to sick children around the world.
What does the name Rulon mean?
German. “famous throughout the land”
What is Rulon made of?
Rulon® is a proprietary, homogeneous material made primarily of PTFE-based resins engineered and developed for specific applications. The Rulon® family of materials combines high compressive strength, a low coefficient of friction, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance running without lubrication.
What is Turcite?
Turcite® is an internally lubricated, acetal-based material (with properties similar to those of Delrin AF) designed for applications with demanding wear and friction requirements. Turcite® creates little friction, is heat and chemical resistant, and exhibits excellent wear characteristics.
What is Turcite made from?
Turcite™ is a family of materials made from both Acetal resins and PTFE. The acetal-based Turcite products are known for exhibiting good strength and stiffness, dimensional stability, resistant to abrasion with very low stick-slip in dynamic applications.
What is Turcite used for?
Most commonly, Turcite® (Lubring) has been used in the machine tool industry where it serves to either replace or reinforce standard phosphor-bronze LM guideways.
What is Turcite B coating?
Turcite® -B Slydway® is a low friction linear bearing strip C for use primarily on the ways and gibs of machine tools. It provides low friction, stick-slip-free operation, long life and minimum wear. It is installed using a two-part epoxy resin after cleaning and degreasing the bare metal surface thoroughly.
Which is the best PTFE material to use?
Among all reinforced PTFE materials, Rulon® J is one with the lowest coefficient of friction, making it optimally suited for start-stop applications. Owing to the tribological properties of the material, it is also widely used in bearing and wear components. Rulon® 641 possesses excellent pressure and wear withstanding properties.
Where can I find more information on Rulon?

Which is the best material for Rulon 641?
Rulon® 641 possesses excellent pressure and wear withstanding properties. It provides continuous non lubricated service up to 10,000 PV – temporarily even higher values are possible. The material is compatible with a broad range of counterfaces, including construction steel, stainless steel AISI 316 and AISI 303 and also harder materials.
What kind of material is the Rulon resin?
Rulon ® is a family of proprietary, homogeneous materials, mostly of PTFE based resins, engineered and developed with specific custom applications in mind.
