Ertalyte
Ertalyte is one of your best choices for close tolerance parts, precision mechanical parts and parts that require high load and wear endurance. Its high strength, low coefficient of friction and acid resistance add up to impressive dimensional stability.
What is Ertalyte?
Ertalyte is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester. It is manufactured from proprietary resin grades and is based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET-P).
Contact Alternative Plastics for advice and optimum results
Because of the unique properties of Ertalyte it machines differently from materials such as nylon and acetal. Ertalyte also has less resistance to hot water than other plastics. Please talk to us about best practise design, fabrication and application.
Services available:
• Provide Ertalyte in sheet, rod, tube and plate form
• Machine replacement parts for you based on your existing parts
• Advise about what parts or components would be best suited to the unique properties of Ertalyte
• Consult with you about new design or fabrication needs you have and how Ertalyte can benefit
Ertalyte’s stand out properties
• Low moisture absorption – effective in both wet and dry environments
• Stain, chemical and abrasion resistance
• Greater acid resistance than nylon or acetal
• High rigidity and stiffness provides superior strength
• Performs well in high pressure and high velocity environments
• Continuous Service Temperature of 100 degrees celcius (210 F) (NEED TO INSERT DEGREE SYMBOL)
• High tensile and compressive strength
Consider Ertalyte for parts in equipment and food processing industries, manifolds, pharmaceutical equipment, and machine bushings and bearings where start up and running lubrication are not required.
