Some plastics are ideal for applications where optimum sliding behaviour is required. You can find out which plastics are suitable here in this document.

Plastic castors are used in a wide range of applications. Plastics and polyurethanes are ideal when smooth running, wear or resistance to chemicals are required.

When plastics are used in medical technology, particular attention must be paid to selecting the optimum material. This document will help you with this.

Plastic gears are used, among other things, when dry running, good damping, smooth running or chemical resistance are important.
