Rulon LR Chemical Resistant TriStar Plastics

Rulon® LR is a maroon bearing material known for its versatile design properties. Rulon LR is compatible with most hardened steel substrates. Mild steel is acceptable. The harder the running surface, the better. Rulon® is almost universally chemically inert. Of the chemicals encountered in commercial practice, only molten sodium and fluorine show signs of erosion at elevated temperatures and pressures.
