TECACOMP TRM - optimized for tribology and mechanics 

The tribologically optimized and mechanically reinforced compounds of the TECACOMP TRM product series were developed for applications requiring optimum sliding properties, maximumstrength and minimal wear. Engineering and high-temperature plastics are responsible for providing the relevant temperature properties, while specially developed fillers improve sliding properties and wear behaviour. Components used particularly in the automotive as well as the mechanical and apparatus engineering industries have been produced over many decades using compounds from Ensinger adapted specifically to these special demands.

Base polymers: PK, PA, PBT, PPA, PPS, PEEK

Additives for enhanced mechanical strength: Carbon fibres, minerals, glass fibres, glass beads

Additives for improved sliding properties: PTFE, inorganic solid lubricants, oils, minerals

TECACOMP TRM X compounds are designed for plastic components exposed to high levels of mechanical stress. Instead of PTFE, special minerals ensure optimum sliding and friction properties. The compounds developed by Ensinger demonstrate up to 70% less wear than plastics with added PTFE, and ensure an efficient end product manufacturing process with minimal downtimes. The PTFE-free mineral-filled compounds are the right choice for applicationsinvolving higherspeeds, high levels of mechanical stress and high temperature conditions. Typical applications involving extreme friction and sliding stress include components in engines, high-performance gears or vehicle drive trains.
