High-performance compounds for tribological applications

TRIBOFORCE® is the latest generation of tribologically optimized thermoplastics. Complex combinations of different additives mean these materials define a new class of wear behavior. Extraordinary wear resistance and low friction coefficients paired with outstanding dimensional stability make TRIBOFORCE® the ideal antifriction materials for extreme requirements.

TRIBOFORCE® materials come in a range of base polymers, covering a temperature spectrum of between -40 °C and +260 °C and even allowing temporary operating temperatures of up to 300 °C.

TRIBOFORCE® materials are preferred materials for use as gears and for antifriction purposes, almost never requiring lubrication. Furthermore, forgoing conventional lubricants such as e.g. PTFE makes possible the manufacture of TRIBOFORCE® materials with high mechanical strengths because of our new additive combinations.

Additionally we also offer wear measurement on tribological test stands (see picture: "Block on Ring-test"). We can simulate almost any operating condition you stipulate in order to determine wear and friction behaviour, allowing extensive test series to be dispensed with.
