Besides the advantages of low friction and wear resistance, it has high chemical resistance against both acids and alkalis, enabling it to be widely used in areas where metallic substances cannot be used due to corrosion as well. Furthermore, the specific gravity of Ligtex™ is smaller than that of other conventional FRP material. Even larger size rolls and bearings can be manufactured with lightweight, which means deformation by weight of the roller/bearing itself is minimal and they provide higher precision during use of the end products (rollers/bearings). The weight of Ligtex™ is as light as 1/7 of that of metal. It has excellent sliding property, which allows it to be used in a variety of process liquids, as liquids works well as a lubricant. It can be used in water and even in sea water. Further, its excellent wear resistance as compared to conventional metal, enables its usage in products to secure a long lifetime.
