Manufactured under a quality system approved to ISO 9002, Ertalyte is precision machined to individual customers' requirements. Ertalyte offers a high mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness, very good creep resistance, a low and constant coefficient of friction, a low stick-slip sensitivity, outstanding wear resistance and very good dimensional stability. In addition, Ertalyte is physiologically inert.

Ertalyte's innovative properties make the material ideally suitable for the manufacture of mechanical precision parts which have to sustain high loads and/or are subject to wear.

Typically such parts include bearings, bushings, wear plates, thrust washers, guides, gears, rollers, pump components, valve parts and electrical insulating components.

For unlubricated moving parts applications, there is an internally lubricated bearing grade called Ertalyte TX. Incorporating a uniformly dispersed solid lubricant, Ertalyte TX is described as being particularly suitable for the manufacture of sliding parts where low friction, long wear, high load-bearing capacity and a very good dimensional stability are required. Application examples include precision engineering and machine construction.

Ertalyte TX has a superior wear resistance, a lower coefficient of friction and very high pressure-velocity capabilities. At the same time, there is good chemical resistance (with the exception of alkaline solutions), very good machineability, a moderate impact strength and good electrical properties.
