POBCO-B^® HARDWOOD (NO-STATIC BUILDUP)

POBCO-B lubricant-impregnated hardwood bearings, wearstrips and components often provide the best overall service of our various bearing materials. These natural fiber bearings are 100% filled with a blend of fluid lubricants. They render a greater speed/ load capability and have a lower wear rate factor than many plastics. This product has official approval for use in the food and beverage industry. (100% Dielectric)

POBCO ULTRA-D^® & HI-TEMP. (to 275^oF) ULTRA-D

POBCO Ultra-D bearings and components are made from Ultra- High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) having a molecular weight of 4.5 to 5.67 million. This material is widely used in rough service in the presence of abrasive particles and performs well in wet and in most chemical environments. It is FDA and USDA approved for direct contact with food products. (Special Blends Available)

POBCO PLUS^®

POBCO Plus bearings and components are manufactured utiliz- ing a food grade fluid lubricant united with UHMW-PE plastic. This product was developed to retain the basic properties of UHMW-PE while creating a plastic bearing material which reduces the coefficient of friction and wear rate factor. POBCO Plus meets all official requirements for use in the food and beverage industry. Reduces drag and friction up to 40%.

POBCO STATIC-DISSIPATIVE /ANTI-STATIC MATERIALS

POBCO offers several plastics materials with varying degrees of static-reduction capabilities, including black Ultra-D (UHMW). These materials can help solve electrical discharge and dirt/ grime attraction problems. These materials offer excellent wear and bearing properties and are available in many standard and custom shapes and sizes including Guide Rails, Wear Strips, Clip-Ons, Bearings and Conveyor Rollers. Minimums may apply. These plastic materials are not FDA/USDA compliant.

Static-Dissipative Range: Surface Resistivity 10⁵ - 10⁹ ohms/square
Anti-Static Range: Surface Resistivity 10⁹ - 10¹⁴ ohms/square

POBCO HI-WEAR CPUHMW

33% more wear resistant than unfilled UHMWPE. Excellent for use as Chain Guides, Bottle-Neck Guides, Liners and in Waste Handling applications.

POBCO ACETAL (DELRIN^®, CELCON^®)

POBCO molded Delrin bearings and components find their primary usage in light to medium duty applications. POBCO machined Delrin bearings can be made for heavier duty applica- tions. Our Delrin equipped rollers have low overall cost while affording long service life. Acetal is FDA, USDA compliant. Available with additives such as PTFE or Oil or Dry Lube for increased PV ratings and wear resistance.

POBCO NYWEAR (FDA & NON FDA MATERIALS)

POBCO Nywear bearings and components are especially suited for high heat (230^oF+) material handling applications. This fluid lubricant-filled plastic renders exceptional wear and abrasive resistant capabilities with a low heat build up. High PV limit.

POBCO NYLON MD (Nylatron GS^®)

POBCO Lubricant-Filled Nylon bearings and components are preferred for heavy load, high speed operations up to approxi- mately 220^ooF operating temperatures. The POBCO MD plastic material is available in four basic compositions. We can help you choose the right material depending upon speed/load and environmental conditions. Bearing grade, High Temp. 475^oF, dimensionally stable & chemically resistant at High Temps., High PV limits.

POBCO RULON^® LR (NON FDA)

Specially compounded forms of PTFE Fluropolymer used as a bearing material which requires no lubrication and is capable of performing under severe temperature and corrosive conditions. The operating temperature ranges from - 400^o to +550^oF.

POBCO RULON^® 641

POBCO Rulon 641 white plastic is approved for use in the Food, Drug, and Chemical Industry. This material is recommended for high heat applications up to 550^oF. It's friction decreases rapidly with increasing load. Other grades of Rulon also are available with higher/lower PV values for nonfood applications.

POBCO NYLONS

POBCO Nylon Resins are available in many grades. Common grades are 101, 6/6, MD/GS moly filled, oil and lube filled. (Extruded & Cast grades) Operating temperatures of 200-225^ooF continuous; Nylons are extremely wear resistant with low coefficient of frictions.

POBCO PTFES & FLUROCARBONS^®

Highly chemically resistant, with operating temp. range of 450^o -
550^oF depending on the additive. High PV ratings and some food grades available.

POBCO FLUOROSINT 207^®

High Temp. 500^oF, MICA filled PTFE (PTFE) material; FDA compliant; less abrasive & more resistant than common filled PTFE materials; suitable for steam or hot air use.

POBCO POBLON

High Temp. 500^oF Proprietary fluorocarbon (PTFE) blend. USDA FDA Compliant. Less expensive alternative to Rulon 641 for less demanding, high temperature food related applications. Color is off-white.

POBCO PEEK^®

High Temp. 480^oF, High PV limits, low coefficient of friction excellent chemical & wear resistant.

POBCO TORLON^® 4301

Bearing grade, High Temp. 475^oF, dimensionally stable& chemically resistant at High Temps., High PV limits.

POBCO PET-P (POLYESTER)
