Rulon® AR PTFE - HONY Plastics

Rulon AR is a derivative of the original Rulon A material and continues the tradition of chemical resistance and long wear, plus reliability for continuous, non-lubricated service.

Maroon in color, Rulon AR is ideal for seals and the bonded coatings of slide surfaces. You’ll find AR in many automotive applications such as shaft seals and piston cups for gas meters, or anywhere where high physical properties are in demand.

With a PV value of up to 10,000, (higher for intermittent use), Rulon AR can be designed to extruded shapes, molded parts, and machined parts.

Rulon® AR is a light maroon colored material best known as the current version of the first Rulon® introduced, namely Rulon A. While often compared to another in the series, Rulon® LR, it is somewhat more flexible than its counterpart, and is therefore suitable for seals and bonded coating of slide surfaces, especially when those applications require higher physical properties than Rulon® LR can provide. It is also practically chemically inert, and provides long life and reliability in continuous non-lubricated service.

This filled PTFE material offers a combination of high compressive strength, a low coefficient of friction, chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance without the need for lubrication. It is capable at operating at PV values up to approximately 10,000. Higher PV values are possible for intermittent use applications.

Rulon® AR is somewhat more flexible than Rulon® LR, hence suitable for seals and bonded coating of slide surfaces. It has many decades of use in automotive shaft seals and fuel metering pump cups.

Rulon AR has a practically universal chemical inertness like that of Rulon LR and provides long life and reliability in continuous non-lubricated service. It is capable of operating at PV values up to approximately 10,000.  Higher PV values are possible for intermittent use applications.

The following are some of the formulations available for Rulon®. Please contact an Emco Industrial Plastics representative to help you choose the correct material to meet your application needs.
