BUSHINGS MADE FROM QUADRANT’S TECHTRON HPV PPS MATERIAL DELIVER RELIABLE PERFORMANCE DESPITE HIGH LOADS, HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HARSH CHEMICALS

Quadrant EPP’s TECHTRON® HPV PPS self-lubricating material provided a reliable solution in a harsh extraction installation for DE SMET Group, S.A. of Brussels, Belgium. Forming the bushings that carry processed material against a counter-current of harsh solvents, TECHTRON HPV PPS delivers outstanding performance despite prolonged exposure to loads up to 90 MPa, temperatures up to 80ºC, and the continuous presence of grit and aggressive chemicals.  TIELT, BELGIUM – September 2004 – An industrial process is only as efficient as the tools used to implement it. Bearings used in extreme conditions, such as prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals or abrasion-sensitive components, or under heavy mechanical loads, can no longer be lubricated once they are installed and the process is in operation. For DE SMET Group, S.A. of Brussels, Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (QEPP) provides a solution to this problem with their new TECHTRON® HPV PPS material for bearings used in an extraction installation.
