Turcite® is a high-quality, internally lubricated material that is ideal for applications with demanding wear and friction requirements. Its low water absorption enables components made with Turcite® to retain their integrity over long periods. Turcite® A is a resilient formulation that performs well under vibratory and dynamic loading.

Standard color: Turquoise blue

Turcite® A Rod Features:

Economical, Self-Lubricating & Long-Wearing Material

Similar to Delrin® AF but made from copolymer resin to avoid centerline porosity.

Suitable for moderate to heavy loads at moderate speeds.

Maximum Continuous Service Temperature is 180F.

Higher Wear Resistance than Turcite® X.

Available in rods only.

Std Lengths: .250" to 2" dia - 8 ft lghs; 2.5" to 3.5" dia - 4 ft lghs; 4" & above - 1 ft lghs.

Turcite A & X by Trelleborg

Turcite A is a proprietary formulation of TFE and acetal resin. Turcite A is a self-lubricating resilient material that performs well under vibratory and dynamic loading. The exceptional wear and abrasion resistant qualities of Turcite A make it ideally suited for bearing applications of moderate to high load and low speed. Medium to dark turquoise in color, Turcite A is completely free of any contamination or substance that is foreign to the specified formulation.

Turcite X displays good dimensional integrity under a variety of mechanical and chemical conditions. Turcite X exhibits exceptional wear qualities and is intended for bearings applications of low load and high speed. Turcite X has an acetal base with internal migratory lubricants which greatly enhance its exceptional wear characteristics. With minimal hygroscopic characteristics as well as low thermal expansion properties, Turcite X is a structurally stable material. Turcite X is red in color.
