Friction Property

Ligtex™ has extremely low friction coefficient and it can achieve even smaller number if lubrication oil or oil/water mixture in the ratio of 1 : 1 is used. Below table is comparison of friction coefficient of Ligtex™ and that of conventional phenol product which is commonly.

Characteristic

  1. Great Sliding Properties in chemicals, having High Chemical Resistance against both Acids and Alkalis.
  2. Longer Lifetime against Aggressive Chemicals in High Temperature.
  3. Extreme Low Friction Factor (0.02~0.03, with Lubrication) and Excellent Wear Resistance.
  4. Reliable and Stable Dimensions due to its Low Water and Oil Absorption.

Thermal Property

Low thermal conductivity of Ligtex™ Composite Material is needed to be considered in case of use in high temperature.
