	TRIBOCOMP® - TRIBOLOGICAL ADDITIVE SYSTEMS

Tribology (the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion) is an except- ionally complicated field, since the tribological performance of a system is dependent on material properties, material combinations and external factors such as surface pressure, relative speed, surface roughness and temperature.

EPIC Polymers has extensive experience in the field of tribology of plastics and has developed a broad range of tribological additive systems for different materials and operating conditions. These TS systems are well established in all major market areas.

The overview below gives a rough guide to the different systems

TS 0 good overall wear and friction properties TS 1 low friction, improved wear TS 2 low wear and low friction TS 3 low friction and extremely low, excellent fatigue resistance TS 4 very low friction and wear, high load bearing capability TS 5 low wear of counterface TS 6 low noise TS 7 low friction TS 8 low wear of counterface, high friction TS 9 high temperature lubricant TS 10 bearing grade TS 11 excellent wear and friction in oil and water TS 12 special lubrication for gear wheels TS 13 low noise, low friction, excellent surface finish TS 14 low plastic-on-plastic wear TS 15 high surface hardness, low friction TS 16 low slip stick TS 17 low friction, optimized for noise reduction TS 18 very low wear and friction, optimized for low noise and low slip-stick The systems outlined above can be used in any base polymer
