Saint-GobainGlossary of Materials/Saint-Gobain is a worldwide groupwhose history spans more than threecenturies.Created in 1665 in France, Saint-Gobain launched its first industrialDepartment with the production ofmirrors, which adorn the famous Hall ofMirrors at Versailles.Expansion beyond French bordersbegan in the middle of the 19thcentury. An international pioneer,Saint-Gobain established a glassfactory in Germany in 1857, another inItaly in 1889 and one in Belgium in1904. The group moved toward theNew World in 1937 with the opening ofa plant in Brazil.Early DiversificationStrongly established in flat glassproduction, Saint-Gobain began lookingtoward other activities at thebeginning of the 20th century. Thecompany entered the papermakingbusiness in 1925, and the insulationbusiness in 1936.The 1970 addition of the companyPont-á-Mousson, the world leader incast iron pipes, reinforced Saint-Gobain’s position in the constructionmarket.Throughout the 1970’s and 80’s theSaint-Gobain Group continued topursue both internal and externalgrowth, which culminated with the1990 acquisition of Norton Company,one of the world’s leading abrasivesand ceramics manufacturers.Norton Performance Plastics in turnacquired Furon Company and createdthe new Saint-Gobain PerformancePlastics, combining decades ofexperience and leadership in metalbackedand polymer bearings andcomponents.The Rulon® trademark had beenacquired by Furon in the purchase ofDixon Industries Corporation, foundedin 1876 by Ezra Dixon, specializing inself-lubricating bearings for the thenemerging textile industry in thenortheastern United States.1• Rulon LR• Rulon J• Rulon 641• Rulon W2• Rulon 123• Rulon 488• Rulon 957• Rulon XL• Rulon F• Rulon 142• Rulon 945• Rulon 1045• Rulon 1337• Rulon 1410ProcessesMaroon material with low deformation characteristicsDull gold polymer-filled material for lower abrasion andsofter mating surfacesWhite FDA compliant material for most matingsurfacesExcellent for fresh water applicationsFDA compliant, low and consistent friction material formost mating surfacesInorganic filled material ideal for dry applications,compatible with most surfacesGreen speckled material, excellent bearing grade withnoise dampening capabilityTan, low friction material, suitable for aluminumsurfaces, with excellent outgassing capability foruse in vacuumGreen polymer-filled material with excellent antiabrasioncharacteristicsAqua colored low deformation material suitable forlinear bearings and slidesBlack very low deformation material suitable for highheat / impact applicationsDull gold colored high elongation and moderatedeformation material suitable for bearings,rings and sealsTan FDA compliant material with low frictionalcharacteristics and excellent chemical resistance formost mating surfacesGold colored material for use in high elongationapplications requiring good elongation• Rulon 1439 White FDA compliant material most suitable forsubmerged applications with low wearAutomatic MoldingExtrusionHand MoldingMachiningSkivingStamping / Forming• Custom bearings• Components, near-net• Rods & Tubes• Specialty Profiles• Rod, Sheet, and Tube• Custom Machined Parts• Tapes and Thin Sheet• Seals• Washers• Bearings & Glides
ProductsBearings:Sleeve, flanged, and thrust bearings are available in the standardmaterials, Rulon LR, J, and 641, through our distribution channels. Pleasecontact Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics customer service for thepreferred distributor in your area, or for other material options.Rings:Solid and split piston rings, featuring a full complement of jointconfigurations, can be manufactured to your custom specifications, orour applications engineers can work with you to design the optimalring for your needs. Please contact the main number and you will beconnected with the district sales manager for your area.Tapes:Most materials can be skived (shaved) into sheets using state of the artequipment. These can be etched for bonding to other materials, or usedas is in a wide assortment of applications where friction reduction isdesired. FDA - compliant materials can be used as non-stick coatingsurfaces for food preparation.Formed Parts:A wide assortment of cup seals is available, either hot-formed to hold aspecific shape, or cold-formed to retain the natural memory of thematerials. These produce a consistent hysteresis in dust sealingapplications, as well as precision electronic applications. Please contactthe main number and you will be connected with the district salesmanager for your area.Basic Shapes:Molded and extruded rods and tubes and molded sheets are available inmost of the materials. Please contact Saint-Gobain Performance Plasticscustomer service for the preferred distributor in your area.Wear Components:Wear components can take a variety of shapes and sizes, other thanthose described above. These can encompass things such as wear bands,pump bodies, and pistons for chemically and thermally demandingenvironments. These are usually manufactured to your specifications orSGPPL can assist you in the design. Please contact the main number andyou will be connected with the district sales manager for your area.Molded Up to 24 x 24"x3" thickTable ofContentsGlossary of Materials . . . . . . .1Products . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2Materials Selection Guide . . .3RULON LR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4RULON J . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5RULON 641 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6RULON W2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7RULON 123 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8RULON 488 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9RULON 957 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10RULON XL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .11RULON F . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .12RULON 142 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13RULON 945 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14RULON 1045 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15RULON 1337 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16RULON 1410 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17RULON 1439 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18Rulon Products . . . . . . . . . . . .19Application Inquiry Form . . .20Other SGPPL Products . . . . . .22Available ShapesExtruded - Up to 10 ft. longMolded - Up to 12 in. longExtruded - 3 in.
