Ertalyte™ TX PET-P is a premium internally lubricated bearing grade that exhibits superior dimensional stability and wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength and rigidity, outstanding stain resistance and great chemical and abrasion resistance. Due to Ertalyte™ TX PET-P‘s low moisture absorption rate, this grade’s mechanical and electrical properties are unaffected by moisture, which gives this grade better wear and inertness over nylon and acetal products and also a lower wear rate than unmodified polyesters. These characteristics make Ertalyte™ TX PET-P ideal for use in applications that involve high pressure and velocity conditions and environments with soft metal and plastic mating surfaces where noise abatement is critical.

Ertalyte™ PET-P is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline grade produced from our proprietary resins and characterized by its excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high strength and resistance to moderately acidic solutions. This grade 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™ PET-P components are a favored solution for bearing, structural and industrial applications.
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.
Ertalyte™ TX FG PET-P (Food Grade) is a premium internally lubricated bearing grade that exhibits superior dimensional stability, excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength and rigidity, outstanding stain resistance and great chemical and abrasion resistance. Due to its low moisture absorption rate, this grade’s mechanical and electrical properties are unaffected by moisture, which gives this grade better wear and inertness than nylon and acetal products, as well as a lower wear rate than unmodified polyesters. Due to these characteristics and this grade’s FDA (compositional FDA 21 CFR § 177.2470) and EU 10/2011 food compliant composition, Ertalyte™ TX FG PET-P components are a favored solution for use in applications that involve high pressure and velocity conditions and environments with soft metal and plastic mating surfaces where noise abatement is critical.
