Key Properties
High mechanical & impact strength, even at low
temperatures, stiffness, hardness and toughness. Excellent
resilience. Very good dimensional stability (low water
absorption). Good sliding properties and wear resistance.
Excellent machinability. Good electrical insulating
and dielectric properties. Physiologically inert (suitable
for food contact)
Strengths
- Toughness
- Hard wearing surface
- Good sliding characteristics
Limits
- Not easy to glue
- Limited colours
- Not self extinguishing
