Advantages: Ertacetal's great machinability together with its dimensional stability, mechanical strength, zero moisture absorption and good load-bearing properties make it ideal for close-tolerance parts.

Advantages: Ertalyte’s properties make it especially suitable for the manufacture of precision mechanical parts capable of sustaining high loads in challenging wear conditions.

Advantages: Nylon is a tough, durable, general purpose engineering material with special grades for specialty applications. Typical application conditions would be medium speed and temperature in a rugged, abrasive, impact and high load environment.

Advantages: AEPP’s exhibit very high properties for thermoplastics in the areas of strength, stability, wear and temperature. They also offer improved chemical resistance and increased dielectric properties.

Alloys and Fillers – As the need for more demanding uses emerge, Tetron PTFE can be customised by the addition of fillers to create PTFE compounds with enhanced physical properties to suit particular mechanical applications outside the scope of virgin PTFE.

Advantages: Virgin Tetron PTFE material
• Unaffected by almost all chemicals
• Continuous use at high temperatures
• Slippery non-stick surface
• Outstanding dielectric properties

Advantages: Tetron PTFE compounds
• Improved resistance to cold flow or creep
• Reduction in Wear and Friction
• Improved dimensional stability
• Increased stiffness and surface hardness

Dotmar Heatbelts is the major supplier of coated glass cloth and tapes (plain – Chemglas, and adhesive backed Chemstik), coated Kevlar fabrics, and locally manufactured coated fabric Belts to the Australian market. PTFE or Silicone is coated onto high quality fabric substrates to produce flexible composites. The resulting surface provides the benefits of PTFE or silicone enhanced by the dimensional stability of the woven fabric.

Advantages: Chemfab's non-stick surface and high temperature and chemical resistance make it an ideal flexible medium for food processing, screen printing and heat sealing applications.

Advantages: Polystone P is a hard, stiff, easily workable material with excellent toughness.
It is easily weldable. Ideal for tanks and fittings in the food and chemical
industries.

Advantages: Safeguard is an excellent product for safety and security applications. It is light-weight and has 250 x the impact strength of glass.

Advantages: High Rigidity and strength compared to other plastics. Formable, weldable, machinable.

DCP is a range of leading conveyor components, modules and integrated conveyor solutions from concept to completion. This range includes flat top chain, the accompanying chain track, modular belts, components such as guide rails, conveyor feet, brackets etc. Networking with our business partners and customers we provide solutions utilising the latest generation of Flexon System Plast innovations across a wide range of industries and applications

Applications: The range from DCP provides the full range of parts to assemble a conveyor system (apart from the steel support structure).

These chains are generally steel and used in conveyor applications. They differ from flat top chains in that they do not have the flat, low friction top surface and are generally for heavy outdoor applications.

The Okartek roller system fall into two categories:

1. Multidirectional rollers: These are a roller with four smaller rollers around the perimeter. The function is to allow product to move on two axes, unlike a standard cylindrical roller. They are used in handling of any flat product.
2. Okartek PVC Roller System: This system uses tap-in ends and bearing inserts with 3m lengths of PVC tube. This allows rollers to be made by cutting the tube to length and fitting the ends and bearings. The product is water tight and suitable for food processing environments

Pipe fittings are used as a fix to damaged pipes. When there is a crack, split or leak in a pipe a pipe fitting can be used to stop a leak, until the pipe can be fixed permanently. This can eliminate danger product from leaking and causing harm.

Applications: Plumbing, mining and water applications

Orkot is a range of thermoset composite bearing materials incorporating advanced polymer technologies. These are made from technical fabrics impregnated with thermosetting resins, evenly dispersed solid lubricants and further additives to ensure the optimum solution is reached to satisfy many engineering applications.

Advantages:
• Many successful applications for Orkot involve highly loaded bearings or pads operating with intermittent or oscillating movements. Orkot bearings are successfully used against many different counter face materials, including hardened steel, stainless steel, gun metal, chrome plated steel, ceramic coated steel and nitride surfaces.
• Orkot has outstanding physical, mechanical and chemical properties
• Orkot materials exhibit low coefficient of friction combined with high compressive strength. This Translates into enhanced wear resistance and excellent value over long period of time.
