Principal Features of MELDIN 1000 Excellent Chemical Resistance Even at elevated temperatures, most MELDIN® 1000 grades have superior resistance to chemicals ranging from acids to oils and solvents to fuels, and even to high temperature steam. Plus the MELDIN® 1380 grade works well in applications that have food contact. Good Dimensional Stability MELDIN® 1000 materials exhibit low coefficients of thermal expansion, which aid these components when functioning addition, these materials have low creep and low water absorption, which also allows designers to specify close clearances in moving mating...

MELDIN® 1003 components offer the highest level of strength and rigidity for this product family. They maintain high chemical, tensile, and flexural properties even at elevated temperatures. Specify MELDIN® 1277 when the product requirements call for structural integrity also exhibits good electrical insulative properties and dimensional stability. MELDIN® 1357 offers the lowest wear rate and coefficient of friction, which makes it the best candidate for tribological applications. In addition, its self-lubricating properties allow it to operate quietly in dry operating Specify MELDIN® 1380 for...

Compressor Scroll Tip Seals For scroll tip seal applications, MELDIN® 1000 series materials provide some parts with superior wear resistance properties, and superior deformation properties over those of standard PTFE scroll tip seals. Appliance Applications MELDIN® 1000 series components are used in appliance applications due to their superior wear life and ability to operate without the need for any oils or lubricants. In addition, the MELDIN® 1380 grade complies with the FDA Title 21 CFR regulations for contact with articles intended for repeated use in contact with food. Vehicle Components...

Principal Features of MELDIN 2000 ® Excellent Tensile Strength and Elongation MELDIN® 2000 materials exhibit superior tensile strength and elongation properties, even at elevated temperatures, providing the mechanical integrity necessary for the most demanding applications. High Compressive Strength With an ultimate compressive strength of over 40,000 psi and a usable limit of 34,000 psi at 10% strain, MELDIN® 2001 provides the highest resistance to compressive failure of any of the MELDIN® 2000 compositions. The additional formulations, however, also offer excellent compressive properties. High...

This material is best suited for thermal and electrical insulation and radiation resistance. MELDIN® 2001 has the highest compressive properties of any material in the series. The MELDIN® 2030 bearing compound operates with extremely low friction in both dynamic and static applications, and provides thermal and electrical insulation. MELDIN® 2211 offers the balanced properties of low friction, high strength and resistance to compressive creep. Product availability: A multi-purpose bearing grade for high temperature and high load applications, MELDIN® 2021 maintains its strength and rigidity at...

Glass Handling Equipment In glass bottle production, MELDIN® take-out inserts and grippers are used for mold removal and transfer of red-hot bottles. MELDIN® components improve bottle quality and production yield. Due to their low thermal conductivity, they reduce microcracking caused by rapid, non-uniform cooling. Bearing Applications MELDIN® materials can be used for very demanding bearing applications in motors, general industrial equipment and machinery, and business machines. Welding or Plasma Cutting Equipment Because of their high temperature capabilities, MELDIN® materials improve wear...
