Materials used for production of plastic chain slats

D - ACETAL RESIN

The acetal resin offers very good mechanical specifications, excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. Used in the manufacturing of plates for flat top chains, it is an economical alternative to our LFA material.

Working temperatures:

• - 40°C / + 80°C (dry environment)
• - 40°C / + 65°C (wet environment)

Colour: light grey

LFA - LOW FRICTION ACETAL RESIN

This material has a low coefficient of friction, high wear resistance and excellent resistance to chain tension. It is recommended for high load and high speed applications. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved for direct contact with food.

Working temperatures:

• - 40°C/ + 80°C (dry environment)
• - 40°C/ + 65°C (wet environment)

Colour: light brown

SP - SUPER PERFORMANCE ACETAL RESIN

The super performance resin has a lower coefficient of friction than LFA material. Plate wear and chain elongation are reduced; it is suitable for high speed applications and reduced lubrication. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved for direct contact with food.

Working temperatures:

• - 40°C/ + 80°C (dry environment)
• - 40°C/ + 65°C (wet environment)

Colour: dark grey

AS - ANTISTATIC ACETAL RESIN

This material offers great protection against static electrical charges. It is ideal for explosive atmosphere and where an electrostatic force may cause product instability.

Working temperatures:

• - 40°C/ + 80°C (dry environment)
• - 40°C/ + 65°C (wet environment)

Colour: black

PPB - CHEMICAL RESISTANT REINFORCED POLYPROPYLENE

This improved polypropylene has acid and corrosion resistance characteristics; it is specially recommended when a chain is exposed to chemical agents.

Working temperatures:

• + 5°C / + 105°C (dry environment)
• + 5°C / + 105°C (wet environment)

Colour: white

WR - WEAR RESISTANT RESIN

It is especially wear resistant in abrasive environment and it is suitable for conveying glass, mechanical components, sand, etc.

Working temperatures:

• - 5°C / + 100°C (dry environment)

Colour: black
