Rulon^® Fluoropolymers

W2 PTFE

Rulon^® W2 is a black PTFE-based Carbon Filled polymer material solution developed for use in fresh-water applications. It exhibits low friction and excellent wear characteristics (one of the lowest wear rates in fresh water) as well as good thermal dissipation, preventing shaft distress. Its properties are enhanced when wet and the material does not absorb water.

It is compatible with most metal substrates and soft mating surfaces. Rulon^® W2 is a good alternative to Rulon^® J when superior chemical resistance is needed. However, it should not be used on very soft mating surfaces or where electrical insulation is needed.

The material is molded and precision machined from high performance polymers as PTFE and filled PTFE composites specifically designed to administers advanced properties and performance. The formulation control wear and friction properties for specific application and environment.
