Who manufactures Turcite?
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions
Machine Tool Specialty Components Group supplies the original Turcite® manufactured by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions. For over 30 years Busak Shamban (now known as Trelleborg Sealing Solutions) has manufactured high quality thermoplastic bearings and friction-reducing materials that are specified by OEMs world-wide.
What is a 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 Rulon material?
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.
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 J material?
Rulon® J is an all-polymeric reinforced, dull gold colored PTFE compound that operates exceptionally well against soft mating surfaces such as 316 stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, brass and other plastics. The unique “shaft friendly” material is also low in friction and wear, and self-lubricating.
