SELECTION GUIDE FOR SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS<br />

Round rods – Hollow bars<br />

You manufacture turned parts?<br />

Then you have two options.<br />

Manufacturing hollow bars or round rods<br />

from plastic semi-finished products?<br />

Advantages of hollow bars:<br />

Semi-finished<br />

product<br />

The advantages to you of purchasing a hollow bar rather than<br />

a round rod are as follows:<br />

1. Disposal costs reduced<br />

2. Hourly machine rates made more efficient<br />

3. Dimensional stability<br />

4. Fewer stresses<br />

In addition, hollow bars offer better dimensional stability than<br />

round rods and are associated with fewer stresses when finished<br />

products are being manufactured with bores.<br />

An extract from our range of hollow bars<br />

Finished<br />

product<br />

Avoid remainders<br />

Lower costs<br />

Chippings<br />

Disposal<br />

costs<br />

By using hollow bars instead of round rods in manufacturing your<br />

finished products, you can save:<br />

1. Money thanks to efficient machine utilisation<br />

2. Disposal costs for the chippings created<br />

The planning of how to use hollow bars is up to you.<br />

But their availability: that's up to us!<br />

Technical information:<br />

In Chapter 14 "Technical Knowledge" starting<br />

on page 93 we inform you in detail.<br />

ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene<br />

copolymers)<br />

ABS types are rigid and impact-resistant<br />

even at low temperatures, thanks to<br />

butadiene rubber. They are very hard, whilst<br />

also offering good scratch and chemical<br />

resistance. ABS is less ageing and weatherresistant<br />

than other types.<br />

- Good mechanical strength<br />

- Good impact strength<br />

- Good further processing characteristics<br />

- Good dielectric properties<br />

- Good hardness and dimensional stability<br />

- Low moisture absorption<br />

- Combustible (adjustments can be made<br />

to make it non-flammable)<br />

- Physiologically safe<br />

Comment:<br />

ABS is not suitable for mechanical sliding<br />

functions.<br />

Grades: modifications available on request,<br />

not transparent due to rubber component,<br />

rather, opaque white.<br />

Use: technical parts subject to impact stress<br />

including housings and covering parts, also<br />

for low temperatures<br />

Processing: hot forming, bonding, welding,<br />

machining, printing<br />

Density: 1.07 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

- 45 °C to + 85 °C, some up to 100°<br />

Colour: white<br />

PS<br />

Polystyrene<br />

Standard polystyrene is a hard and<br />

dimensionally stable, yet brittle<br />

thermoplastic that is one of the most<br />

inexpensive plastics available. In its<br />

injection-moulded form, it is used in the<br />

manufacture of mass-produced articles and<br />

disposable parts.<br />

In technical applications, PS (unloaded)<br />

is used primarily in the field of electrical<br />

engineering, thanks to its good dielectric<br />

properties.<br />

- Low mechanical strength<br />

- Low impact strength<br />

- Good further processing characteristics<br />

- Very good dielectric properties<br />

- Good hardness and dimensional stability<br />

- Very low moisture absorption<br />

Special types, –20° to +80 °C<br />

uPVC offers standard impact resistance, is stabilised against<br />

environmental influences and has a high chemical resistance to<br />

acids and alkalis.<br />

• Simple processing possible<br />

• Outstanding electrical insulating properties<br />

• Good hardness, dimensional stability and rigidity<br />

• Low moisture absorption<br />

• Combustible but self-extinguishing (low flammability according<br />

to DIN 4102 B 1 – guaranteed for standard grade boards up to<br />

4 mm)<br />

• Low tendency towards stress cracking thanks to good chemical<br />

resistance<br />

Comment:<br />

Standard uPVC types do not meet the requirements of the<br />

Service temperature:<br />

+/–0° to +60 °C<br />

uPVC foam boards are a composite material made from solid outer<br />

layers specially stabilised for outdoor use and a foamed uPVC core<br />

material. The average density is only around 0.70 g/cm 3 , although<br />

a high level of rigidity is still achieved.<br />

The outer layers, made from solid, unplasticised PVC, create an<br />

outstanding surface finish, which means the material is perfect<br />

for use in advertising, displays and the construction of exhibition<br />

stands, etc.<br />

It goes without saying that sound and heat insulation are ensured.<br />

• Boards possess low flammability characteristics<br />

• Low thermal conductivity<br />

• Oscillation and vibration-damping<br />

• Easy to process<br />

PE HD (POLYETHYLENE HIGH DENSITY)<br />

Characteristic properties of PE HD (polyethylene high density)<br />

The properties of polyethylene are primarily determined by the<br />

chain length (degree of polymerisation).<br />

Compared to standard natural and black polyethylenes,<br />

PE HD 500 (HMW) and PE HD 1000 (UHMW) have a higher<br />

molecular weight (M), which can be established via various<br />

methods. According to Margolies' equation (based on viscometric<br />

measurements), the materials are classified as follows:<br />

Standard PE HD natural or black = approx. 250.000 M<br />

PE HD 500 (HMW) = approx. 500.000 M<br />

PE HD 1000 (UHMW) = approx. 4.4 – 8 million M<br />

PE HD standard natural or black<br />

(polyethylene)<br />

Material density: 0.95 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature: -50 °C to +70 °C<br />

Without significant mechanical stress and with air as the<br />

surrounding medium, up to +80 °C<br />

PE HD is very tough, even at low temperatures, has a low density<br />

(compared to other materials) and impresses with its high<br />

chemical resistance.<br />

• Very good electrical insulating properties<br />

• Good sliding properties<br />

• Almost no moisture absorption<br />

• Combustible according to DIN 4102 B2<br />

• Physiologically indifferent (compatible with foodstuffs)<br />

• Anti-adhesive properties (so 100 % sticking not possible)<br />

Comment:<br />

PE natural is intended exclusively for indoor use.<br />

PE black is specially UV-stabilised for outdoor use.<br />

Pressed boards have fewer stresses compared to extruded boards,<br />

so priority should be given to them for milled parts.<br />

Grades:<br />

Extruded and pressed design/colour natural/black<br />

Other grades/modifications on request<br />

Application:<br />

Machine tools, chemical equipment and laboratory construction,<br />

electroplating technology, use wherever physiological safety is<br />

required.<br />

Processing:<br />

Hot forming, welding, machining,<br />

Sticking properties: high bonding strength not possible<br />

Printing: surface pre-treatment required<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Boards 0.5 – 50 mm extruded design –<br />

In addition to the general characteristics of standard PE HD,<br />

such as<br />

• Good resistance to stress cracks<br />

• No water absorption<br />

• Compatible with foodstuffs<br />

• Excellent electric and dielectric properties<br />

• Good processability and machinability<br />

• Chemical resistance<br />

as the molecular weight of HMW PE HD types increases, so a<br />

number of the material properties improve. For example:<br />

• Notch toughness<br />

• Resistance to stress cracking<br />

• Tearing strength/elongation at tear<br />

• Rigidity and abrasion also decrease as the molecular weight<br />

increases<br />

PE HD 1000 (UHMW) (polyethylene)<br />

Material density: 0.94 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature: –200 °C to + 70 °C<br />

An increase of around 10 % is permissible, provided that the parts<br />

are not subject to significant mechanical stress.<br />

PE HD 1000 (UHMW) features high impact strength and notch<br />

toughness even at low temperatures, as well as a high tearing<br />

strength and elongation at tear with optimum long-term behaviour.<br />

This material will not be destroyed by slow or sudden stresses.<br />

• Very low wear, abrasion-resistant<br />

• Good sliding properties, prevents sticking<br />

• Almost no moisture absorption<br />

• Combustible according to DIN 4102 B2<br />

• Physiologically indifferent (compatible with foodstuffs)<br />

• Anti-adhesive properties (so 100 % sticking not possible)<br />

Comment:<br />

PE HD 1000 UHMW natural is not specially stabilised for outdoor<br />

use and, as such, is intended for indoor applications.<br />

PE HD 1000 UHMW black is specially UV-stabilised for outdoor use.<br />

Pressed boards have fewer stresses compared to extruded boards,<br />

so priority should be given to them for milled parts.<br />

Grades:<br />

Extruded/sliced and pressed boards<br />

Colour natural/black/green<br />

Special types modified for parts subject to high stresses on<br />

where sliding properties are necessary along with optimum wear<br />

resistance, e.g. hopper linings<br />

Service temperature:<br />

+/–0 °C to +80 °C<br />

Without significant mechanical stress and with air as the<br />

surrounding medium, up to +100 °C<br />

More rigid, harder and stronger than PE.<br />

• High chemical resistance<br />

• Very good electrical insulating properties<br />

• Almost no moisture absorption<br />

• Combustible according to DIN 4102 B2<br />

• Physiologically safe (according to BGA/FDA)<br />

• Anti-adhesive properties (so 100 % sticking not possible)<br />

Comment:<br />

PP is not generally designed for outdoor use.<br />

For restrictions in terms of chemical resistance, see the separate<br />

PA<br />

Product description for PA (polyamide)<br />

Material density:<br />

PA 6 1.14 g/cm 2<br />

Service temperature:<br />

PA 6 –40 °C to +85/70 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

According to grade, e.g. PA 4.6 (Ertalon 4.6) –40 °C to +155/135 °C<br />

Differences in PA types depend on their crystallinity and water<br />

content. A high degree of crystallinity makes polyamides rigid<br />

and hard.<br />

Very tough due to moisture absorption.<br />

Main properties of polyamides:<br />

• High mechanical strength, rigidity, hardness and toughness<br />

• Good fatigue strength<br />

• High mechanical damping capacity<br />

• Good sliding and emergency running properties<br />

• Very high wear resistance<br />

• Good electrical insulating properties<br />

• Good resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X rays)<br />

• Good cutting properties<br />

The wear resistance and sliding properties can be improved by<br />

making modifications involving oil or solid lubricants. The strength<br />

and modulus of elasticity are achieved via modifications with glass<br />

fibres.<br />

Comment:<br />

As PA absorbs moisture, these plastics must be designed to permit<br />

larger tolerances.<br />

Never use PA against PA in sliding applications (stick-slip effect).<br />

Grades:<br />

Extruded materials:<br />

• PA 6 colour natural/black<br />

• PA 66 colour natural/black<br />

• Ertalon 4.6 (polyamide 4.6) reddish brown<br />

• PA 66 GF 30 black<br />

• Nylatron GS anthracite<br />

Cast materials:<br />

• PA 6 cast colour natural/black<br />

• PA 6 heat-stabilised (Ertalon XAU) black<br />

• PA 6 oil (Ertalon LFX) green<br />

• Nylatron 901 blue<br />

• Nylatron GSM anthracite<br />

• Nylatron NSM grey<br />

• Nylatron LFG (self-lubricating)<br />

Approved under foodstuffs legislation<br />

• Nylatron 703 XL (optimum wear resistance – with increased<br />

dynamic resilience)<br />

(Request a separate detailed product description)<br />

Application:<br />

Machine tools, precision engineering such as bearing bushes,<br />

toothed wheels, wearing parts, tensioning and conveyor rollers,<br />

pulley blocks, chain wheels, etc.<br />

see machining information)<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Round rods:<br />

5 – 500 mm ∅ (according to grade)<br />

Hollow bars:<br />

Outer diameter 20 – 500 mm (according to grade)<br />

Boards:<br />

0.5 – 100 mm thickness (according to grade)<br />

Dimensions 610 x 1000/3000 mm<br />

According to grade 1220 x 2000 mm<br />

PA<br />

Polyamide extruded materials<br />

PA 6 (polyamide) extruded material<br />

Material density: 1.14 g/cm 3 , colour natural/black<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–40 °C to +85/70 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

This material offers an optimum combination of mechanical<br />

strength, rigidity, toughness and mechanical damping, along with<br />

very good wear resistance, good electrical insulating properties<br />

and good chemical resistance. As a result, PA 6 should be viewed<br />

as a "universal" material for construction and repairs.<br />

PA 66 (polyamide) extruded material<br />

Material density: 1.14 g/cm 3 , colour natural/black<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–30 °C to +95/80 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

Material with a higher strength, rigidity, temperature resistance<br />

and wear resistance than PA 6, as well as better creep strength.<br />

However, PA 66 has a lower impact strength and poorer<br />

mechanical damping properties.<br />

Ertalon 4.6 (polyamide 4.6) extruded material<br />

Material density: 1.18 g/cm 3 , colour reddish brown<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–40 °C to +155/135 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

Compared to standard PA types, Ertalon 4.6 retains its rigidity and<br />

creep strength better over a wide temperature range, as well as<br />

offering higher thermal ageing resistance.<br />

The main applications for this material can be found in the temperature<br />

range between 80° and 150 °C, where the properties of PA6/<br />

PA 66/POM/PET no longer suffice.<br />

PA 66 – GF 30 (polyamide 6.6 30 % glass-reinforced) extruded<br />

material<br />

Material density: 1.29 g/cm 3 , colour black<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–20 °C to +120/110 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

PA 66 with 30 % glass-fibre reinforcement offers higher strength,<br />

rigidity, creep strength and dimensional stability than nonreinforced<br />

PA 66, whilst retaining very high wear resistance. Can<br />

be used at higher top service temperatures.<br />

Nylatron GS (polyamide 6.6 with MoS2) extruded material<br />

Material density: 1.15 g/cm 3 , colour anthracite<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–20 °C to +95/80 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

Material with a slightly higher strength, hardness and dimensional<br />

stability than PA 66, but whose impact strength is reduced a<br />

little. The modification with MoS2 improves frictional and wear<br />

behaviour.<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–30 °C to +105/90 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

This material has a similar property profile to PA 66.<br />

It combines high mechanical strength, rigidity and hardness with<br />

good creep strength, wear resistance, thermal resistance and<br />

cutting properties.<br />

The casting method offers a wider range of dimensions.<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–30 °C to +120/105 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

Heat-stabilised PA provides higher thermal ageing resistance,<br />

which means it can be used at continuous service temperatures<br />

that are 15 to 30 °C higher than standard.<br />

Particularly recommended for sliding elements and other wearing<br />

parts where service temperatures of over 60 °C arise.<br />

Polyamide oil (Ertalon LFX) cast material<br />

Material density: 1.135 g/cm 3 , colour green<br />

13/38 <strong>PLASTICS</strong><br />

POM/PET<br />

Product description for POM (polyacetal)<br />

Material density:<br />

1.41 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–50 °C to +115/100 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

The favourable property profile of POM means this material is<br />

perfect for a number of applications.<br />

Main properties of POM<br />

• High mechanical strength, rigidity and hardness<br />

• Very good recovery<br />

• Good creep strength<br />

• High impact strength even at low temperatures<br />

• Low water absorption, thus very high dimensional stability<br />

• Good electrical insulating properties and good dielectric<br />

behaviour<br />

• Good sliding properties and wear resistance<br />

• Outstanding cutting properties (short cut)<br />

• Most POM materials are suitable for contact with foodstuffs<br />

Comment:<br />

Thanks to its low moisture absorption, POM is more suitable than<br />

PA for dimensionally stable parts.<br />

Grades:<br />

POM C (copolymer) colour natural/black<br />

POM C is more resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal<br />

oxidative degradation than POM H (homopolymer). (Stocked<br />

goods)<br />

Product description for PET (polyethylene terephtalate)<br />

Material density:<br />

1.39 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

-20 °C to +115/100 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

Specific properties such as a low coefficient of sliding friction<br />

at very high wear resistance make this a preferred material for<br />

mechanical precision and wearing parts.<br />

Main properties of PET:<br />

• High mechanical strength, rigidity and hardness<br />

• Good creep strength<br />

• Low and constant coefficient of sliding friction<br />

• Very high wear resistance<br />

(comparable with or even better than PA)<br />

• Very high dimensional stability (better than POM)<br />

• More resistant to acids than PA and POM<br />

• Good electrical insulating properties<br />

• Outstanding cutting properties (short cut)<br />

• Physiologically safe (suitable for contact with foodstuffs)<br />

• Good resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X rays)<br />

Optimum sliding properties with an extremely low coefficient<br />

of sliding friction are achieved through the addition of solid<br />

lubricants (see PET with solid lubricants, Ertalyle TX).<br />

POM H, on the other hand, has better tensile strength, rigidity,<br />

hardness and creep strength. A low thermal expansion rate and<br />

better wear resistance (see the detailed product description).<br />

POM H + PTFE – this material is modified with PTFE fibres, which<br />

improve its sliding properties. (Lower coefficient of sliding friction<br />

and better abrasion resistance than POM C and POM H)<br />

Application:<br />

Machine tools, precision engineering such as toothed wheels with<br />

a small modulus, highly stressed sliding elements and cam rollers,<br />

dimensionally stable precision parts.<br />

Parts in constant contact with water from 60 – 80 °C.<br />

Parts that come into contact with foodstuffs.<br />

Processing:<br />

Outstanding cutting properties (short cut,<br />

see machining information)<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Round rods: 5 – 320 mm diameter (according to grade)<br />

Boards: 1 – 100 mm thickness (according to grade)<br />

Hollow bars: 20 – 350 mm outer diameter (according to grade)<br />

Dim. Boards: 610 x 1000/3000 mm according to grade<br />

1000 x 2000 mm<br />

Please observe the detailed list of dimensions for each grade.<br />

Comment:<br />

PET is not suitable for use in conjunction with hydrolysis > 70 °C<br />

(hot water or steam) .<br />

Grades:<br />

PET colour white/black<br />

PET with solid lubricant (Ertalyle TX) colour light grey<br />

An homogeneously embedded solid lubricant makes PET a unique<br />

self-lubricating material for friction bearings. Not only does this<br />

material have a very high wear resistance, it also provides an even<br />

lower coefficient of sliding friction and a higher dynamic loadcarrying<br />

capacity than standard PET. (P limit value)<br />

Application:<br />

Machine tools, precision engineering, highly stressed sliding<br />

elements such as bearing bushes, guide rails, etc. dimensionally<br />

stable precision parts for the electrical industry, bushes, toothed<br />

wheels and parts that come into contact with foodstuffs<br />

Processing:<br />

Outstanding cutting properties (short cut,<br />

see machining information)<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Round rods: 10 – 210 mm diameter (according to grade)<br />

Boards: 2 – 100 mm thickness (according to grade)<br />

Hollow bars: 20 – 200 mm outer diameter (according to grade)<br />

Dim. Boards 610 x 1000/3000 mm (according to grade)<br />

PC 1000 – INDUSTRIAL GRADE<br />

Properties of PC (polycarbonate – industrial grade)<br />

Material density:<br />

1.20 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

-60 °C to +125/115 °C (5000/20.000 hours)<br />

Unlike the visually impact-resistant "clear" polycarbonate boards<br />

(used in industrial glazing, for example), this is an industrial grade<br />

PC with the same specific<br />

main properties as PC:<br />

• High mechanical strength<br />

• Good creep strength<br />

• Very high impact strength even at low temperatures<br />

• Retains rigidity across a wide temperature range<br />

• Very high dimensional stability (due to very low water absorption<br />

and low linear coefficient of thermal expansion)<br />

• Good electrical insulating properties and good dielectric<br />

behaviour<br />

• Good cutting properties (short cut)<br />

• Physiologically safe<br />

(suitable for contact with foodstuffs)<br />

Comment:<br />

PC semi-finished products are not UV-stabilised, this grade is a<br />

"non-optical PC industrial grade".<br />

Important: PC is prone to stress cracks (if emulsions, cutting oils<br />

and detergents that contain solvents are used, this can lead to<br />

stress cracks).<br />

Also, page through online!<br />

Technical information:<br />

In Chapter 14 "Technical Knowledge" starting<br />

on page 93 we inform you in detail.<br />

Grades:<br />

PC (industrial grade) natural – no colour, translucent<br />

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SEMI-FINISHED<br />

PRODUCTS MADE FROM ERTALON ® , NYLATRON ® ,<br />

ERTACETAL ® , ERTALYTE ® AND PC – GUIDE VALUES<br />

Key<br />

+ Values for dry material<br />

++ Values for material stored up to<br />

saturation in normal atmospheric<br />

conditions 23 °C/50 % RF (largely taken<br />

from the relevant literature).<br />

(1) According to method 1 of ISO 62 and<br />

carried out on discs of ∅ 50 x 3 mm.<br />

(2) The values listed for these properties<br />

are largely taken from the material<br />

sheets provided by the raw-material<br />

suppliers and from other publications.<br />

(3) Valid for just a few hours of<br />

temperature stress for applications<br />

where no or only low mechanical<br />

stresses occur.<br />

(4) Temperature load capacity over<br />

5000/20.000 hours. After these time<br />

intervals, the tensile strength has<br />

dropped to around 50 % of the initial<br />

value. The upper service temperature<br />

limits listed here are therefore based<br />

on the thermal oxidative degradation<br />

that occurs, which causes the property<br />

level to decrease. However, as with<br />

all thermoplastics, in many cases<br />

the maximum permissible service<br />

temperature primarily depends<br />

on the duration and degree of the<br />

Also, page through online!<br />

www.reiff-tp.com<br />

mechanical stresses that arise during<br />

the application of heat.<br />

(5) Taking the way in which impact<br />

strength drops as the temperature<br />

decreases, in practice the lower service<br />

temperature limit is determined in<br />

particular by the level of the impact<br />

loads acting on the material. The value<br />

listed here is based on unfavourable<br />

impact load conditions and, as a result,<br />

should not be viewed as the absolute<br />

practical limit.<br />

(6) Please note that under no<br />

circumstances may conclusions<br />

regarding the behaviour of the<br />

materials in an actual fire be drawn<br />

from these estimated values taken<br />

from the material sheets provided by<br />

the raw-material suppliers. There is no<br />

"yellow UL card".<br />

(7) The data listed for dry material (+)<br />

is largely average values taken from<br />

tests carried out on test specimens<br />

made from round rods ∅ 40 – 60 mm.<br />

Taking the very low water absorption of<br />

POM/PET/PC grades into account, the<br />

values for the mechanical and electrical<br />

properties of test specimens that are<br />

dry (+) and at atmospheric humidity<br />

(++) of these materials can be viewed<br />

as almost identical.<br />

(8) Test specimen: type 1 B.<br />

(9) Test speed: 20 mm/min.<br />

(10) Test speed: 1 mm/min.<br />

(11) Test specimen: Cylinder ∅ 12 x 30 mm.<br />

(12) Pendulum impact tester used: 15 J.<br />

(13) Measured on test specimens<br />

10 mm thick.<br />

(14) Electrode configuration: two cylinders<br />

∅ 25 / ∅ 75 mm; in transformer oil<br />

according to IEC 60296; measured on<br />

test specimens 1 mm thick.<br />

(15) The values below do not apply to the<br />

Ertalyte panels that are 2 to 6 mm thick.<br />

� This table is intended to serve as a<br />

helpful tool when selecting materials.<br />

The data listed here is within the<br />

normal range of product properties.<br />

However, it does not represent<br />

warranted property values and<br />

should not be used for specification<br />

purposes or as the sole basis for<br />

designs.<br />

PE HD UHMW<br />

Product description for PE HD 1000 UHMW<br />

Material density:<br />

0.94 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

-200 °C to +70 °C/an increase of around 10 % is permissible,<br />

provided that the parts are not subject to significant mechanical<br />

stress.<br />

PE-HD-1000 (UHMW) features high impact strength and notch<br />

toughness even at low temperatures, as well as a high tearing<br />

strength and elongation at tear with optimum long-term<br />

behaviour.<br />

This material will not be destroyed by slow or sudden stresses.<br />

• Very low wear, abrasion-resistant<br />

• Good sliding properties, prevents sticking<br />

• Almost no moisture absorption<br />

• Combustible according to DIN 4102 B2<br />

• Physiologically indifferent (compatible with foodstuffs)<br />

• Anti-adhesive properties (so 100 % sticking not possible)<br />

Comment:<br />

PE HD 1000 UHMW natural is not specially stabilised for outdoor<br />

use and, as such, is intended for indoor applications.<br />

PE HD 1000 UHMW black is specially UV-stabilised for outdoor use.<br />

The properties of PE 1000 mean that optimum sticking is not<br />

possible.<br />

Pressed boards have fewer stresses compared to extruded boards,<br />

so priority should be given to them for milled parts.<br />

PMMA ACRYLIC GLASS<br />

Product description for PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)<br />

Material density:<br />

1.19 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

–20 °C to +70 °C (for PMMA XT/extruded)<br />

–20 °C to +80 °C (for PMMA GS/cast)<br />

Amorphous thermoplastics with low moisture content and<br />

water absorption. Glass clear with highly luminous surface, high<br />

brilliance and crystal clear transparency, can be dyed in many<br />

colours, transparent and muted.<br />

Main properties of PMMA:<br />

• Hard and rigid, but brittle – shatter-proof to a limited extent,<br />

up to impact-resistant<br />

• Very high weathering and ageing resistance<br />

• Very good surface<br />

• Large range of colours in both grades<br />

• Good chemical resistance to dilute acids (average concentration)<br />

• Resistant to organic solvents to a limited extent<br />

• Not resistant to strong acids/nitro-cellulose combi thinners, etc.<br />

• Good cutting properties (short cut)<br />

• Very good sticking properties<br />

• Physiologically safe (suitable for contact with foodstuffs)<br />

Comment:<br />

Important: PMMA is prone to stress cracks<br />

(if emulsions, cutting oils and detergents that contain solvents are<br />

used, this can lead to stress cracks).<br />

The relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion should be<br />

taken into account when creating designs. If used outdoors, up to<br />

approx. 0.5 % or ± 5 mm/metre.<br />

Grades:<br />

PMMA XT/extruded clear, transparent/as well as in various<br />

standard colours<br />

PMMA GS/cast clear, transparent/as well as in various standard<br />

colours<br />

Thickness tolerances according to DIN ISO 7823-1/2<br />

PMMA GS = 2 – 25 mm tolerance ±10 % plus 0.4 mm<br />

(e.g. 8 mm of 6.8 – 9.2 mm)<br />

PMMA GS block product > 25 mm –0/+4 to – 0/+7 mm according to<br />

thickness<br />

PMMA XT = ±5 %<br />

PMMA GS cast boards are manufactured between two panes of<br />

glass and polymerised in batches. They have a very high molecular<br />

weight and, as a result, are more rigid and less prone to cracking,<br />

making them easier to process subsequently.<br />

PMMA XT extruded boards are continuously manufactured using<br />

an extruder, possess a lower molecular weight and are thus more<br />

flexible and easier to deform.<br />

Application:<br />

Construction and protective glazing, device covers, machine<br />

protection, roofing<br />

Processing:<br />

Good cutting properties (short cut) High cutting speeds and<br />

sufficient cooling are required, as friction causes PMMA to<br />

overheat and then to smear. Good hot forming, very good sticking<br />

properties (see machining information)<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Boards 1 – 50 mm<br />

Tubes 10 – 200 mm outer diameter<br />

Round rods 5 – 100 mm diameter<br />

Board dimensions Up to 2050 x 3050 mm<br />

PET<br />

Properties of PET (polyester boards), e.g. Axpet ®<br />

Advantages:<br />

• Good impact strength<br />

• Good fire protection classification<br />

• Compatible with foodstuffs<br />

Axpet ® are solid boards made from thermoplastic polyester.<br />

They provide high impact strength, have a good fire protection<br />

classification and are compatible with foodstuffs. Axpet ® is<br />

resistant to chemicals and fully recyclable.<br />

Axpet ® clear 099 are clear boards with a high degree of<br />

transparency and luminosity.<br />

Axpet ® NR clear 099 are transparent boards with a non-reflective<br />

matt coating on one side.<br />

Axpet ® white 100 are white, opaque boards, i.e. they are not<br />

transparent, even in narrow versions.<br />

Axpet ® white 130 are translucent boards that offer good light<br />

scatter in combination with an attractive white colour.<br />

The mechanical properties have been determined on board material 4 mm thick.<br />

Axpet ® UV clear 2099 are clear, transparent boards with UV<br />

protection on both sides to prevent yellowing.<br />

Applications:<br />

Ideal indoor applications for Axpet ® : POS (displays, price label<br />

holders, shelf dividers), poster covers, billboards (including<br />

backlit ones), signposts, advertising signs, containers and trays<br />

for foodstuffs, decorative inserts, pharmaceutical products, flat<br />

machine covers<br />

The boards are easy to machine and screen print. Due to the<br />

crystallisation characteristics of polyester, white areas can appear<br />

on the board during hot forming.<br />

Axpet ® boards can be cold folded easily and produce a hinge<br />

effect. For outdoor applications, we recommend Axpet ® UV<br />

boards.<br />

<strong>PLASTICS</strong> 13/69<br />

Comment:<br />

Duratron ® PBI is extremely hard and can represent a cutting<br />

challenge. The relative notch sensitivity of the material must<br />

be taken into account when dimensioning parts. Finished<br />

components with high tolerances should be stored in closed<br />

containers (usually in a plastic bag with desiccant) to prevent<br />

changes in size occurring due to moisture absorption. Components<br />

that are suddenly exposed to temperatures of over 200 °C, i.e.<br />

without a transition period, must be "dried" prior to use or kept<br />

in a dry condition to prevent the workpieces being deformed by<br />

thermal shocks.<br />

Grades:<br />

Duratron ® PBI colour black<br />

Application:<br />

Duratron ® PBI colour black is, thanks to its properties (amongst<br />

other things, the material is very pure in terms of ionic<br />

contamination and hardly outgasses at all, with the exception of<br />

water), a very interesting material for high-tech fields such as the<br />

semi-conductor, nuclear and aerospace industries.<br />

The addition of graphite and PTFE leads to increased wear<br />

resistance and a lower coefficient of sliding friction.<br />

Duratron ® PAI 5530 colour black<br />

This type, which is reinforced with 30 % glass fibre, has better<br />

rigidity, mechanical strength and creep strength than Duratron<br />

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES<br />

SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS MADE FROM<br />

HIGH-PERFORMANCE <strong>PLASTICS</strong><br />

Guide values for DURATRON ® PBI/DURATRON ® PAI/DURATRON ® PI<br />

Key<br />

(1) According to method 1 of ISO 62 and<br />

carried out on discs of ∅ 50 x 3 mm.<br />

(2) The values listed for these properties are<br />

largely taken from the material sheets<br />

provided by the raw-material suppliers<br />

and from other publications.<br />

(3) Only values for amorphous thermoplastics<br />

and for materials with no melting point<br />

(PBI & PI) are listed for this property.<br />

(4) Valid for just a few hours of temperature<br />

stress for applications where no or only<br />

low mechanical stresses occur.<br />

(5) Temperature load capacity over at least<br />

20.000 hours. After this time interval, the<br />

tensile strength – measured at 23 °C – has<br />

dropped to around 50 % of the initial<br />

value. The upper service temperature<br />

limits listed here are therefore based on<br />

the thermal oxidative degradation that<br />

occurs, which causes the property level to<br />

decrease. However, in many cases the<br />

maximum permissible service temperature<br />

primarily depends on the duration<br />

and degree of the mechanical stresses that<br />

arise during the application of heat.<br />

(6) Taking the way in which impact strength<br />

drops as the temperature decreases, in<br />

practice the lower service temperature<br />

limit is determined in particular by the<br />

level of the impact loads acting on the<br />

material. The values listed here are based<br />

on unfavourable impact load conditions<br />

and, as a result, should not be viewed as<br />

the absolute practical limits.<br />

(7) Please note that under no circumstances<br />

may conclusions regarding the behaviour<br />

of the materials in an actual fire be drawn<br />

from these estimated values taken from<br />

the material sheets provided by the<br />

raw-material suppliers and from other<br />

publications. There are no UL File<br />

Numbers available for semi-finished<br />

products from "Advanced Engineering<br />

Plastics".<br />

(8) The data listed for the mechanical<br />

properties of the extruded materials is<br />

largely average values taken from tests<br />

carried out on dry test specimens made<br />

from round rods ∅ 40 – 60 mm. With the<br />

exception of the hardness test, the test<br />

specimens were taken from the middle,<br />

between the core and the outer diameter,<br />

with their length running in the longitudinal<br />

direction of the rod l(parallel to the<br />

extrusion direction).<br />

(9) Test specimen: type 1 B<br />

(10) Test speed: 5 or 50 mm/min (selected<br />

according to ISO 10350-1 depending on<br />

the type of failure of the material [tough or<br />

brittle]; all materials listed in the table with<br />

an elongation at break ≥ 10 % were tested<br />

at 50 mm/min).<br />

(11) Test speed: 1 mm/min<br />

(12) Test specimen: cylinder Ø 8 mm x 16 mm<br />

(13) Pendulum impact tester used: 4 J<br />

(14) Measured on test specimens 1 mm thick<br />

(discs), in the middle between the core<br />

and the outer diameter.<br />

(15) Electrode configuration: two coaxial<br />

cylinders ∅ 25/∅ 75 mm; in transformer oil<br />

according to IEC 60296; measured on test<br />

specimens 1 mm thick. It is important to<br />

know that the dielectric strength of<br />

Ketron ® 1000 PEEK black and Quadrant ®<br />

PPSU black can be significantly lower than<br />

the value listed in the table for naturalcoloured<br />

material.<br />

(16) Please note that the property values for<br />

the Duratron ® T4503 PAI and Duratron ®<br />

manufactured by means of pressure<br />

sintering may deviate considerably from<br />

the values listed for extruded Duratron ®<br />

T4203 PAI and Duratron ® T4301 PAI<br />

semi-finished products. They should be<br />

considered individually, based on the<br />

shape and dimensions of the pressuresintered<br />

us for further information.<br />

� This table should primarily be used for<br />

making comparisons and is intended to<br />

serve as a helpful tool when selecting<br />

materials. The data listed here is within<br />

the normal range of properties for dry<br />

warranted property values and should not<br />

be used for specification purposes or as<br />

the sole basis for designs.<br />

Please note that several of the materials<br />

listed in this table are fibre-reinforced<br />

Service temperature:<br />

+250/310 °C (20.000 hours/temporary)<br />

Temporary = only a few hours, where no or only low loads may<br />

occur<br />

This semi-crystalline high-performance plastic provides a<br />

unique combination of very good mechanical properties, high<br />

temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance.<br />

Main properties of Ketron ® PEEK:<br />

• Upper service temperature limit in air, continuous 250 °C,<br />

temporary peaks up to 310 °C<br />

• High mechanical strength, rigidity and creep strength over a wide<br />

temperature range<br />

• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance<br />

• Excellent wear resistance and good sliding properties<br />

(particularly Ketron ® PEEK HPV and PEEK CA 30)<br />

• Very high dimensional stability<br />

• Outstanding UV resistance<br />

• Excellent resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X rays)<br />

• Inherent non-flammability and very low smoke emissions in the<br />

event of a fire<br />

Comment:<br />

Above 150 °C, the mechanical properties of all Ketron ® PEEK<br />

types diminish significantly and the linear coefficient of thermal<br />

expansion rises considerably. As a result, Duratron ® PAI could be<br />

better suited to precision parts at high temperatures over<br />

150 °C.<br />

mechanical stresses occur.<br />

(3) Temperature load capacity over at least<br />

20.000 hours. After this time interval, the<br />

tensile strength has dropped to around 50 %<br />

of the initial value. The upper service temperature<br />

limit listed here is therefore based on the<br />

thermal oxidative degradation that occurs,<br />

which causes the property level to decrease.<br />

However, in many cases the maximum<br />

permissible service temperature primarily<br />

depends on the duration and degree of the<br />

mechanical stresses that arise during the application<br />

of heat.<br />

TECHTRON ® PPS<br />

DURATRON ® 1000 PEI<br />

Properties of Techtron ® PPS (polyphenylene sulphide)<br />

Material density:<br />

1.43 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

+220/260 °C (20.000 hours/temporary)<br />

Temporary = only a few hours, where no or only low loads may<br />

occur<br />

A material that was developed for applications where technical<br />

plastics such as PA, POM, etc. no longer suffice and where a<br />

cost-effective alternative to PI, PEEK or PAI is sought for high-tech<br />

applications that are not highly demanding.<br />

Main properties of Techtron ® PPS:<br />

• Very high upper service temperature limit in air, continuous<br />

220 °C, temporary peaks up to 260 °C<br />

• High mechanical strength, rigidity and creep strength over a wide<br />

temperature range<br />

• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance<br />

• Excellent frictional and wear behaviour<br />

• Excellent resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X rays)<br />

• Inherent non-flammability<br />

• Good electrical and dielectric behaviour<br />

• Physiologically safe (suitable for contact with foodstuffs)<br />

• Good UV resistance<br />

Properties of Duratron ® 1000 PEI (polyetherimide)<br />

Material density:<br />

1.27 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

+170/200 °C (20.000 hours/temporary)<br />

Temporary = only a few hours, where no or only low loads may<br />

occur<br />

Non-reinforced amorphous thermoplastic with superior<br />

mechanical, thermal and electrical properties.<br />

Main properties of Duratron ® 1000 PEI:<br />

• High upper continuous service temperature limit in air 170 °C<br />

• High mechanical strength and rigidity over a wide temperature<br />

range<br />

• Excellent hydrolysis resistance (suitable for repeated steam<br />

sterilisation)<br />

• Very high dimensional stability<br />

• Good resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X rays)<br />

• Good electrical and dielectric behaviour<br />

• Physiologically safe (suitable for contact with foodstuffs)<br />

• Translucent, non-optical grade<br />

• Non-flammability, particularly low smoke emissions<br />

Comment:<br />

Like many other reinforced plastics, Techtron ® PPS too provides<br />

moderate toughness and impact strength. That is why all corners<br />

have to be rounded off (radius >1 mm).<br />

Above 100 °C, the mechanical properties of Techtron ® PPS diminish<br />

significantly and the linear coefficient of thermal expansion rises<br />

considerably. As a result, PEEK types and Duratron ® PAI could be<br />

better suited to precision parts at high temperatures over<br />

100 °C.<br />

Grades: Techtron ® PPS colour dark blue<br />

Thanks to the embedded solid lubricant that is homogeneously<br />

distributed, Techtron ® PPS offers excellent wear resistance and a<br />

low coefficient of sliding friction.<br />

Application: Techtron ® PPS<br />

These material properties of wear resistance and a low coefficient<br />

of sliding friction, combined with excellent chemical resistance,<br />

open up potential applications in all possible sectors of industry<br />

for the material, e.g. industrial drying and food preparation ovens,<br />

systems used in chemical process engineering, and electrical<br />

insulation systems.<br />

Processing:<br />

Machining, see machining information<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Available dimensions on request<br />

Comment:<br />

All amorphous thermoplastics are prone to stress cracking. Liquid<br />

coolants with an oil-soluble base must not be used during cutting.<br />

Preference should be given to water or compressed air for these<br />

materials.<br />

Grade: Duratron ® 1000 PEI colour natural (amber, transparent)<br />

Semi-finished products are made from ULTEM ® . This raw material<br />

offers a combination of excellent mechanical and electrical<br />

properties, together with outstanding natural non-flammability<br />

and low smoke emissions in the event of a fire.<br />

Application: Duratron ® 1000 PEI<br />

Fields involving electrical/electronic insulators – a variety of loadcarrying<br />

components that require rigidity at high temperatures.<br />

Good hydrolysis resistance and compliance with the requirements<br />

of USP Class VI mean the material can be used in medical devices<br />

and analytical instruments.<br />

2.2 – 2.3 g/cm 3<br />

Service temperature:<br />

-200 to +260/280 °C (20.000 hours/temporary)<br />

Temporary = only a few hours, where no or only low loads may<br />

occur<br />

Fluorosint ® grades:<br />

Also offer excellent mechanical properties (rigidity/creep strength,<br />

wear resistance) paired with outstanding chemical resistance.<br />

Main properties of PTFE:<br />

• High upper continuous service temperature limit in air 260 °C<br />

• Almost universal chemical resistance<br />

• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance<br />

• Very high anti-adhesion level<br />

• Outstanding UV and weather resistance<br />

• Good electrical insulating properties<br />

• Non-filled grades are physiologically safe<br />

• Good mechanical stressability<br />

• Incombustibility according to UL standard<br />

• Very low coefficient of friction<br />

Comment:<br />

If heated to temperatures above 320 °C, PTFE can lose gaseous<br />

decomposition products, some of which are toxic.<br />

Due to their outstanding chemical resistance, PTFE films/boards<br />

do not stick without being etched on one side. (Please indicate if<br />

sticking may be necessary when ordering.)<br />

capacity, approx. 9x less deformation under load than<br />

non-filled PTFE).<br />

Fluorosint ® 207 (white) grade<br />

Outstanding chemical and hydrolysis resistance with good<br />

mechanical load-carrying capacity, complies with EN and FDA<br />

regulations regarding compatibility with foodstuffs.<br />

Application: PTFE<br />

Preference is given to PTFE grades with approval under foodstuffs<br />

legislation in laboratory engineering and in the food and<br />

pharmaceutical industries. Modified grades are used primarily<br />

in the petrochemical, chemical, metallurgical, paper, textile and<br />

nuclear industries.<br />

Certain properties of PTFE can be optimised for the individual<br />

application in question through the targeted addition of fillers.<br />

The compound should be selected taking all physical and chemical<br />

properties of the filler and the compound into account.<br />

Processing:<br />

Machining, see machining information<br />

Do not smoke when cutting PTFE, it is inflammable!<br />

Important: When cutting precise finished products, please note<br />

that a sudden volume change of around 1.3 % occurs at a temperature<br />

of approximately 19 °C. (This is caused by a devitrification of<br />

the PTFE macromolecules.)<br />

It is only possible to stick PTFE films/boards in a "design etched<br />

on one side". (Please indicate if sticking may be necessary when<br />

ordering.)<br />

Properties<br />

Friction can cause solid bodies or liquids to become electrostatically<br />

charged. The sparks produced during discharge could then ignite<br />

explosive substances (whether solid, liquid or gas) or affect other<br />

components. Conductive plastics provide a way of preventing<br />

electrostatic charging taking place.<br />

Furthermore, this material offers excellent dimensional stability<br />

(a low linear coefficient of thermal expansion and low water<br />

absorption), a property that is much prized for conveying devices<br />

in the electrical/electronic semi-conductor industry.<br />

Semitron ® ESD 500 HR – Anti-static PTFE<br />

Material density:<br />

2.3 g/cm 3<br />

Electrical and thermal properties of SEMITRON ® ESD materials<br />

This material is reinforced with a special type of synthetic mica<br />

and offers an excellent combination of a low coefficient of friction<br />

and good dimensional stability and static discharge ability.<br />

Wherever non-filled PTFE leads to problems associated with<br />

electrical discharge, Semitron ESD 500 ensures that static charges<br />

can be dissipated in a controlled manner, whilst retaining typical<br />

PTFE properties, such as outstanding chemical and temperature<br />

resistance and a low coefficient of friction.<br />

Semitron ® ESD 520 HR – Anti-static PAI<br />

Semitron ® ESD 520 HR offers an extraordinary combination of<br />

static discharge ability (ESD) with high mechanical strength and<br />

temperature resistance. This ESD material is particularly well<br />

suited for producing pick-up attachments and mounts for chip<br />

test devices and other conveying devices in the semi-conductor<br />

industry. The main feature of this material is its unique dielectric<br />

strength at high voltages (> 100 V). Whilst conventional plastics<br />

filled with carbon fibre, for example, become irreversibly more<br />

conductive as soon as moderate voltages are applied, Semitron ®<br />

ESD 520 HR retains its electrical properties in the voltage range of<br />

100 to 1000 V and at the same time can shine in even demanding<br />

applications, thanks to its excellent mechanical properties.<br />

Comment:<br />

Semitron ® ESD materials are inherently anti-static and do not<br />

require any atmospheric phenomena (e.g. humidity) in order to<br />

activate them. Nor is any surface treatment needed to ensure that<br />

discharge takes place.<br />

The materials in the Semitron ® ESD group do not contain any<br />

carbon or graphite powder, so they do not leave any black marks.<br />

There is no "yellow UL card" for these semi-finished products.<br />

Key<br />

(1) According to method 1 of ISO 62 and<br />

carried out on discs of ∅ 50 x 3 mm.<br />

(2) Valid for just a few hours of temperature<br />

stress for applications where no or only<br />

low mechanical stresses occur.<br />

(3) Temperature load capacity over at least<br />

20.000 hours. After this time interval,<br />

the tensile strength has dropped to<br />

around 50 % of the initial value. The upper<br />

service temperature limit listed here is<br />

therefore based on the thermal oxidative<br />

degradation that occurs, which causes<br />

the property level to decrease. However,<br />

in many cases the maximum permissible<br />

service temperature primarily depends on<br />

the duration and degree of the mechanical<br />

stresses that arise during the application<br />

of heat.<br />

(4) Please note that under no circumstances<br />

may conclusions regarding the behaviour<br />

of the materials in an actual fire be drawn<br />

from these estimated values taken largely<br />

from the material sheets provided by<br />

the raw-material suppliers. There is no<br />

"yellow UL card" for these semi-finished<br />

products.<br />

These boards are available in six attractive standard colours:<br />

red, black, green, yellow, blue and grey.<br />

uPVC foam board – Simopor<br />

"Boards for photo printing"<br />

The particularly fine-pored foam structure provides a silky smooth<br />

surface that is outstandingly well suited to laminating photos or<br />

printing. The high degree of rigidity, which is achieved despite<br />

a low weight, facilitates good dimensional stability and good<br />

flatness when printing.<br />

uPVC – Solid PVC D board<br />

"Boards for screen printing"<br />

A high degree of rigidity and good impact strength characterise<br />

this board, which is suitable for universal use. The smooth surface<br />

allows for particularly precise screen printing.<br />

Special grade PVC DS is a version with increased impact strength,<br />

special weather protection and low flammability according to<br />

DIN 4102 B 1.<br />

uPVC – Glass<br />

"Boards with a clear view"<br />

These boards combine the benefits of uPVC with maximum<br />

transparency (up to 89 %, depending on the thickness).<br />

PETG – Clear polyester board<br />

"Boards with transparency and printing qualities"<br />

These boards offer a high degree of transparency and outstanding<br />

printing properties. PETG is impact-resistant and easy to deep<br />

draw. The material is physiologically safe and, as a result,<br />

particularly well suited to applications in the field of medical<br />

engineering and the food industry too.<br />

Special grade PETG UV is stabilised against environmental<br />

influences.<br />

A wide range of grades for cast parts, in particular retains its<br />

hardness very well across the whole spectrum (50° to 98° Shore<br />

A). Suitable for applications in general machine tools, coatings<br />

for roll bearings and deep groove ball bearings, damping<br />

elements, doctor blade profiles, seals and membranes. Particularly<br />

noteworthy are the high elasticity and good resistance to mineral<br />

oils, greases and petrol.<br />

PUR elastomer grade D44 (Desmodur D44)<br />

A PUR elastomer with a somewhat lower temperature resistance,<br />

as well as other specific physical properties like Bayer grade D15.<br />

A material used primarily for boards, blanks, bases, scraper bars,<br />

scrapers and linings – with low dynamic loads.<br />

PUR elastomer cellular systems<br />

Vulkocell (registered trademark of P+S Polyurethan-Elastomere)<br />

For applications with high dynamic loads. Applications where a<br />

higher degree of deformability and a lower compression hardness<br />

are required than with solid elastomers. Vulkocell is produced in a<br />

bulk density range of around 300 to 700 kg/m³. Field of use: spring<br />

and damping elements in vehicle construction, seals and frictional<br />

dampers, as well as pressure pads.<br />

Diepocell (registered trademark of P+S Polyurethan-Elastomere)<br />

Has similar properties to Vulkocell and is outstandingly well suited<br />

to applications where lower dynamic properties are required,<br />

although combined with good damping behaviour. Diepocell is<br />

produced in a bulk density range of 300 to<br />

650 kg/m³. Like Vulkocell, this material is characterised by its<br />

deformability of up to 90 %, along with a minimal transverse<br />

extension. Diepocell is the ideal material for buffer systems in<br />

crane and lift construction, thanks to its good damping properties.<br />

Application:<br />

The advantages of PUR materials over rubber elastomer materials<br />

include very good mechanical properties, outstanding wear<br />

resistance and a high tear growth strength in the hardness range<br />

of around 50° – 98° Shore A. These properties make such PUR<br />

grades suitable for applications in all fields of machine tools,<br />

lift construction and vehicle constructions. Compared to rubber<br />

elastomers, PUR systems are soot-free, and so are also used in<br />

areas of industry where abrasion-free behaviour is needed, for<br />

example, in the paper and wood industry as a lining for transport<br />

rollers, as transport and assembly aids in the automotive industry,<br />

etc.<br />

PUR (POLYURETHANE)<br />

Machining characteristics for compact PUR elastomers<br />

a) Longitudinal turning<br />

The hard Vulkollan types are very good for machining, whilst in<br />

softer grades the material has a hard time keeping away from the<br />

tool steel. However, the required degree of rigidity can be achieved<br />

by means of supercooling. The following optimum machining<br />

conditions have been established:<br />

Face turning/Parting<br />

For parting wide components, the same conditions as specified<br />

under a) apply.<br />

When parting thin discs, it is recommended to use a tool steel<br />

whose cutting edge is very pointed at an angle of under 15°, so<br />

can be viewed as a knife, and which also possesses the cutting<br />

angle stated above. Diluted soluble oil should be used to cool the<br />

parts, due to the heat generated by the high level of friction.<br />

Thread cutting<br />

Only coarse threads are recommended, since Vulkollan is relatively<br />

soft compared to steel.<br />

Milling<br />

With a circumferential speed of 200 to 400 m/min., and a milling<br />

tool made from high-speed tool steel with a clearance angle of<br />

10° and y = 25°, the surface finishes specified under a) can be<br />

achieved.<br />

To ensure good chip removal, the milling tool should not feature<br />

multiple teeth (no milling head).<br />

Drilling<br />

Drilling can be done using standard steel drills. Cutting speeds<br />

of 40 to 50 m/min. are recommended, with a feed rate that is as<br />

low as possible, i.e. 0.01 to 0.03 mm/rev. A higher feed rate can be<br />

selected for the hard materials.<br />

Bores up to 20 mm deep can be made without using diluted<br />

soluble oil. Due to the softness of the material, the diameters of<br />

the bores for Vulkollan 70° – 90° Shore types are up to 4 % smaller<br />

than the drill diameters.<br />

Grinding<br />

Smooth surfaces are achieved using grinding wheels made from<br />

standard corundum with a vitrified bond, a fine grain, medium<br />

hardness and a coarse structure. Grinding speeds must be very<br />

high, i.e. 30 to 50 m/sec., with the high speed applying to soft<br />

materials. Diluted soluble oil should be used to cool the parts<br />

down in order to avoid overheating.<br />

INFORMATION ABOUT MACHINING<br />

THERMO<strong>PLASTICS</strong><br />

PE/PP, uPVC, PA, POM, PC/PET, etc.<br />

Due to the poor thermal conductivity and the relatively low<br />

melting points of thermoplastics, care must be taken during<br />

machining to ensure that as little heat as possible is generated<br />

and transferred to the item being processed. The following points<br />

must be observed to avoid the consequences of the plastic being<br />

thermally overloaded (discolouration and even fusing of the<br />

surface):<br />

• The tool cutting edges must always be in perfect condition and<br />

well sharpened<br />

• The clearance angle must be large enough to ensure that only<br />

the cutting edge is ever resting on the workpiece<br />

• Good chip removal from the workpiece must be ensured<br />

• Cooling must be performed if large amounts of heat are<br />

generated (e.g. during drilling)<br />

Resultant cutting forces<br />

As the forces that arise when cutting technical plastics are<br />

significantly lower than those associated with metals, it follows<br />

that lower clamping forces will suffice too. Since these materials<br />

are not as rigid as metals, the parts must be adequately supported<br />

during machining. For example, when turning the outer diameter<br />

of thin-walled bushings, lateral supporting centring discs are often<br />

used.<br />

Tools<br />

Cutting tools made of carbon steel, HSS and hard metal can be<br />

used. Tungsten hard metal tools or diamond cutting edges are<br />

preferred during series production and are indispensable when<br />

machining thermoplastics with added glass or carbon fibres.<br />

Cooling<br />

Where cooling is required due to high machining temperatures,<br />

standard coolants or drilling emulsions can be used. However, this<br />

does not apply to amorphous plastics such as PC 1000, which tend<br />

towards stress cracking. Water or compressed air are the most<br />

appropriate coolants for these materials.<br />

Machining tolerances<br />

The machining tolerances for workpieces made from thermoplastic<br />

are considerably greater than those normally used for metal<br />

parts. This is because of the significantly larger coefficient of<br />

thermal expansion of plastics, the volume change brought about<br />

by moisture absorption and the deformations that occur during<br />

and after machining due to the release of residual stresses. The<br />

latter phenomenon has a particularly pronounced effect where the<br />

cross-section undergoes a large change in volume and with parts<br />

that are machined asymmetrically. In such cases, depending on<br />

the required tolerances, thermal treatment (a process to reduce<br />

the residual stresses) may prove necessary following preliminary<br />

machining of the part and before it is finished.<br />

A basic rule for turned and milled parts is that a finished<br />

dimension tolerance of 0.1 to 0.2 % of the nominal dimension<br />

can be adhered to without any particular preventive measures<br />

(minimum tolerance for small dimensions is 0.05 mm). ISO 2768,<br />

DIN 7168 and the Swiss "Empfehlungsschrift zur Anwendung<br />

kunststoffgerechter Maßtoleranzen" ("Recommendation on the<br />

application of dimensional tolerances suitable for plastics") from<br />

the VKI/KVS trade association can be used as guidelines in this<br />

context.<br />

Turning<br />

See the table below for the recommended tool cutting angles,<br />

cutting speeds and feed rates.<br />

Milling<br />

The milling machines used as standard for light metals can be<br />

employed. Cutting tools offer the advantage of best possible chip<br />

removal.<br />

Drilling<br />

HSS twist drills are usually well suited to this purpose. Good<br />

cooling with a liquid coolant is indispensable when drilling, due<br />

to the large amount of heat that is generated. In order to achieve<br />

good heat dissipation and chip removal, the drill must be pulled<br />

out of the drill hole regularly, particularly where deep bores are<br />

concerned.<br />

With large drills in particular, the usual width of the drill core must<br />

be reduced at the tip in order to decrease the amount of frictional<br />

heat produced. When working with large diameter bores, a stepby-step<br />

approach is required, e.g. for a bore of ∅ 50 mm, using ∅ 15<br />

followed by ∅ 25. After that, the diameter should be enlarged by<br />

means of bigger drills or a boring tool.<br />

In the interest of preventing cracks when working with round<br />

rods made from ERTALON 66 GF 30, ERTALYTE and ERTALYTE TX<br />

with a diameter > 100 mm and from ERTALON/NYLATRON with<br />

a diameter > 200 mm, it is recommended to never use HSS twist<br />

drills to bore the holes under any circumstances. Instead, the holes<br />

should be bored with a rigid flat lathe tool whose cutting edge is<br />

set exactly to the centre height (see figure above).<br />

Technical information:<br />

In Chapter 14 "Technical Knowledge" starting<br />

on page 93 we inform you in detail.<br />

INFORMATION ABOUT MACHINING<br />

THERMO<strong>PLASTICS</strong><br />

PE/PP, uPVC, PA, POM, PC/PET, etc.<br />

When drilling through-holes, the feed rate should be reduced at<br />

the end of the machining process in order to prevent the drill or<br />

the flat lathe tool penetrating the output end, which could cause<br />

the edges to break off. Mechanical feeds should be used wherever<br />

possible to prevent the plastic being overloaded by an uneven<br />

manual feed.<br />

Sawing<br />

Particularly well suited to this are belt saws, circular saws or hack<br />

saws with a relatively wide tooth spacing and a slight tooth offset,<br />

to ensure that good chip removal is achieved and the saw blade<br />

is not inhibited. The parts to be machined must be clamped to the<br />

work bench correctly in order to prevent vibrations and the untidy<br />

cut edges that result from them, or even to prevent breaks.<br />

Preferably, reinforced materials such as ERTALON 66 GF30 are<br />

cut with a belt saw whose blade has a tooth spacing of 4 to<br />

6 mm. Circular saws often cause cracks and are therefore not<br />

recommended.<br />

Security<br />

To prevent hazards from arising, please observe general industrial<br />

safety regulations and the relevant information in the safety data<br />

sheets.<br />

<strong>PLASTICS</strong> 13/107<br />

PC/PET<br />

Taking the high degree of hardness and moderate toughness<br />

of these materials into account, some additional machining<br />

rules need to be observed in order to avoid premature material<br />

failure. The possibility of stress concentrations arising should<br />

be considered even during the design and assembly phases.<br />

Particular attention should be paid to this when performing sawing<br />

and drilling operations.<br />

Some tips:<br />

• Take note of low or moderate clamping forces<br />

• Avoid sharp "inside corners". The minimum radius is 1 mm<br />

(see Fig. 1)<br />

• To prevent edges being stripped during turning, drilling and<br />

milling, it is recommended to use chamfers, as they provide a<br />

more fluid transition between the cutting tool and the plastic part<br />

(see Fig. 2)<br />

• Sharp V threads should be avoided. Threads with a rounded base<br />

should be used where possible<br />

• It is not recommended to use thread-cutting or thread-stamping<br />

screws. The latter in particular cause significant stress around the<br />

bore hole and frequently lead to cracks there too<br />

• If threads are bored or bolts are fitted in blind holes, it must be<br />

ensured that the base of the hole is not placed under a direct load<br />

by the tip of the thread cutter or of the bolt, as this can also cause<br />

cracks to form<br />

General information<br />

If technical plastics are machined mechanically, can the close<br />

fits familiar from metalworking in the field of machine tools be<br />

ensured?<br />

In principle, largely yes. This is because machining is carried out on<br />

the same precision machines already known from metalworking.<br />

Environmental factors<br />

However, please note that environmental factors such as<br />

temperature changes or the tendency of some plastics to absorb<br />

or release moisture may mean that the fits adhered to during<br />

machining can alter very quickly and exceed the permissible<br />

tolerance ranges. The subsequent dimensional changes must be<br />

taken into account when designing a machine part made from<br />

plastic and, if possible, tolerances should be defined in advance<br />

that make allowances for the dimensional deviations expected to<br />

arise during later use due to the plastic-specific properties and that<br />

ensure the machine part can fulfil its intended function. It would<br />

make little sense, for example, to comply with a fit of H7 during<br />

machining if that fit will have altered due to environmental factors<br />

to take it outside the permitted range when measured just a short<br />

time later. Indeed, parts that have not been toleranced in a way<br />

that is appropriate for plastics would often not even perform their<br />

intended function. For example, if the outer fixing of a bearing<br />

bush in a metal housing in the bore hole were to cause the<br />

bush to shrink onto the shaft in the event of even a slight rise in<br />

temperature, due to insufficient bearing play.<br />

Thermal expansion<br />

Plastics change significantly because of their relatively high degree<br />

of thermal expansion. The linear coefficient of thermal expansion<br />

defines how much the length of a plastic part increases when the<br />

temperature rises by 1 °C.<br />

All amorphous thermoplastics are prone to stress cracking. Liquid<br />

coolants with an oil-soluble base must not be used during cutting.<br />

Preference should be given to water or compressed air for these<br />

materials.<br />

Calculation formula and example for change of length<br />

Eq. (1)<br />

The thermal change of length is calculated as follows:<br />

�| = | · a · (ϑ 2 – ϑ 1) [mm]<br />

�| = change of length in mm<br />

| = length at temperature ϑ1 in mm<br />

β = linear coefficient of thermal expansion<br />

(according to Table 2) in 10 –5 · 1/°C<br />

ϑ1 = installation temperature in °C (reference temperature 20 °C)<br />

ϑ2 = service temperature in °C<br />

The table shows that the thermal expansion of steel is only 1 ⁄ 10 that<br />

of most plastics, a fact which has significant consequences for the<br />

design of machine parts.<br />

Eq. (2)<br />

The volume change is calculated as follows:<br />

�V = V · β · (ϑ 2 – ϑ 1) [mm 3 ]<br />

�V = volume change in mm 3<br />

V = volume temperature ϑ 1 in mm 3<br />

β = linear coefficient of thermal expansion<br />

10 –5 · 1/°C<br />

ϑ1 = installation temperature in °C (standard temperature 20 °C)<br />

ϑ2 = service temperature in °C<br />

A prerequisite for equation (2) is that the thermal<br />

change in length is not hindered in any direction, then<br />

β = 3 · a [10 –5 · 1/°C] applies.<br />

Moisture absorption and release<br />

Where polyamide parts are concerned, another issue to consider<br />

when dimensioning and specifying tolerances is that polyamides<br />

absorb water.<br />

The level of water absorption depends on the relative humidity of<br />

the environment and the degree of crystallinity of the material. In<br />

normal atmospheric conditions according to DIN 50014, polyamide<br />

6 reaches a moisture content of around 2.5 – 3 %, for example.<br />

A moisture content of approximately 1 – 2 % can be assumed for<br />

semi-finished products in their condition at time of supply. The<br />

absorption of moisture causes the volume to increase, that is,<br />

dimensions to change, compared to the dry state.<br />

Moisture is absorbed and released according to the laws of<br />

diffusion and the process takes place very slowly in a natural<br />

atmosphere. This means that temporary fluctuations in relative<br />

humidity lead to only slight changes in the moisture content of<br />

polyamides and dimensional changes remain correspondingly<br />

small too. Therefore, dimensional changes caused by moisture<br />

absorption should not be over-estimated; they are nowhere near<br />

as significant as those caused by temperature differences.<br />

Machine elements that always operate under water, such as rudder<br />

bearings, can be conditioned prior to being finished, which largely<br />

excludes the possibility of any further dimensional change as a<br />

result of moisture absorption.<br />

It is also worth mentioning that cast polyamide absorbs much<br />

less moisture than extruded polyamide 6 or 6-6, due to the high<br />

crystallinity of the material.<br />

Eliminating internal stresses<br />

When manufacturing semi-finished products from thermoplastics,<br />

it is not always possible to prevent internal stresses being generated,<br />

particularly with types that crystallise strongly. This primarily<br />

relates to polyamide 66 types, but also to grades that have a pronounced<br />

crystalline structure due to the addition of molybendite,<br />

graphite, titanium oxide, glass fibre or other additives that cause<br />

crystals to form. When dealing with large dimensions, residual<br />

internal stresses of this kind can lead to the formation of cracks<br />

or to subsequent dimensional changes when drilling through. To<br />

prevent cracks forming when drilling through,<br />

in difficult cases it may be necessary to heat the workpiece to up<br />

to 150 °C and to drill through and/or pre-machine it in a still-warm<br />

state. An interim storage period of around 24 hours must be<br />

scheduled after this pre-treatment, to enable the material to rest<br />

(e.g. in a heating furnace at approximately 150 °C, around 5 minutes<br />

for each 1 mm of wall thickness); this must then be followed<br />

by a slow cool-down period.<br />

Tolerances<br />

There is no point keeping to very close tolerances of a few µm, for<br />

example, since thermoplastic materials are exposed to dimensional<br />

fluctuations due to their relatively high level of volume<br />

expansion when being heated and when absorbing moisture.<br />

Foreseeable dimensional changes caused by environmental<br />

factors such as temperature and moisture should be taken into<br />

consideration when designing and dimensioning components<br />

made from thermoplastics by increasing the tolerances of the<br />

functional dimensions accordingly. The dimensional changes that<br />

can be expected due to the effects of temperature and moisture<br />

can be calculated precisely using the technical data for the specific<br />

material type.<br />

� This data is intended to serve as a helpful tool when selecting<br />

materials. The data listed here is within the normal range of<br />

product properties. However, it does not represent warranted<br />

property values and should not be used for specification<br />

purposes or as the sole basis for designs.
