Wear is the process by which small amounts of material are removed from part surfaces moving in relative motion. The mechanism of wear in thermoplastics is adhesion of surface imperfections, resulting in fatigue and removal of material.

At RTP Company, we combine performance-tested additives such as PTFE and aramid fibers to a variety of resin systems to improve the wear resistance of the material. In addition, our additive technology reduces the material's coefficient of friction, allowing the molded part to operate smoothly and quietly.

At RTP Company our product development engineers work closely with designers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the application. This understanding ensures that the material specified will meet all performance requirements of the application.
