The Sterra™ portfolio consists of advanced polymers with recycled content, developed to reduce the environmental impact of industrial engineering while maintaining high quality and technical excellence.
Acetron™ C Sterra™ POM-C is a general purpose, copolymer acetal grade with recycled contents that is often favored for its porosity-free nature. This recycled POM-C also exhibits low moisture absorption and excellent machinability capabilities, making it a very versatile material that can excel in a multitude of environments.As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, Acetron™ C Sterra™ POM-C contains recycled POM-C and therefore is associated with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.
Ertalyte™ Sterra™ PET-P is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline PET-P that is characterized by its excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high strength and resistance to moderately acidic solutions. Ertalyte™ Sterra™ PET-P is capable of sustaining high loads and retains more of its original strength up to 85°C (180°F) than nylons or acetals. Due to these characteristics, Ertalyte™ Sterra™ PET-P components are a favored solution for bearing and structural applications throughout oil & gas industries.
As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, Ertalyte™ Sterra™ contains recycled PET-P and therefore is associated with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks. For details, please refer to the respective environmental datasheet.
TIVAR™ Sterra™ UHMW-PE shapes are produced from re-processed, industrial ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials. These recycled shapes are then re-purposed for use in a variety of industries such as construction and heavy equipment, agriculture and grain handling, bulk material and parcel handling and automotive and transportation.
As a premium grade UHMW-PE that is both economical and eco-friendly, TIVAR™ Sterra™ UHMW-PE components exhibit excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance, outstanding impact strength, minimal moisture absorption and a low coefficient of friction. For these reasons, TIVAR™ Sterra™ UHMW-PE is often a favored solution for wear and outrigger pads, strips, rails, guides, rollers, conveyors, chutes, hoppers, impact plates and asphalt equipment components.
As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, TIVAR™ Sterra™ contains recycled UHMW-PE and therefore is associated with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.
Ketron™ Sterra™ 1000 PEEK is an unfilled, general purpose grade that offers the highest elongation and toughness of all polyetheretherketone materials in the PEEK family. Ideal for instrument and seal components, where ductility and inertness are critical, Ketron™ Sterra™ 1000 PEEK shapes are known for their ability to fit within a variety of applications and industries.
As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, Ketron™ Sterra™ 1000 PEEK contains recycled content and therefore is associated with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.
