April 2022 Tribological plastic compounds: Infinitely specific. What at first sounds like squaring the circle, however, ultimately describes "only" the work of a really good plastics compounder: to always condense the unique, specific solution for the respective requirement from an almost unlimited number of potential solution options/tribological plastic compounds. Namely, exactly the plastic compound that contributes significantly to a convincing intermediate or end product - from all decisive points of view. Since these products are mostly invisible in everyday life, we will focus on them here today: The different areas of application for tribological plastic compounds.

You should know these 5 facts What is easy to speak, often difficult to understand, is thousands of years old and today more relevant than ever? The tribology! In a nutshell, this is about the theory of friction (from ancient Greek tribein, meaning to rub/wear off and lógos, here meaning teaching). In the truest sense of the word, everything here revolves around the topics of wear, lubrication and lots of physics, chemistry and mechanical engineering. But one by one.
