Specific applications

These materials have often been developed for a specific application, but this in turn offers countless other opportunities in other application areas. These materials are often somewhat more expensive, but they clearly pay for themselves as an investment due to their specific properties.

The specific properties of such materials can be; excellent friction and wear behavior, very high dimensional stability, good resistance to high-energy radiation such as gamma rays and X-rays, good electrical insulating and dielectric properties.
This results, for example, in a much longer lifespan, a longer lifespan of the counter part or a higher quality of the end product. Another example is that due to extremely good sliding properties with no “stick-slip” behavior, the customer can make do with lighter motors for propulsion. That is a very specific and sustainable advantage.
