Low-hardness FRP N, which has superior heat resistance compared to nylon and can be used as a substitute for metals.
Starlight Hitem (R)
Ultra-high heat resistance, less prone to adhesion than metal, low hardness FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) thermosetting resin. Can also replace plating and white metal.
Our "High-Tem" product has superior heat resistance compared to nylon and has been widely adopted as a sliding product. It is used in high-temperature applications such as chain guides and wear plates on conveyor lines in automatic drying ovens. It can also replace plating and white metal. <Features> - Can be used continuously at 260°C and is suitable for flame-retardant and thermal insulation applications. - As a thermosetting resin, once it is formed, it will not melt with heat. - Exhibits excellent sliding properties even at high temperatures. <Available Sizes for High-Tem> - Sheet: 200mm (thickness) × 980mm (width) × 10000mm (length: up to 10m) - Tubular (pipe-shaped): Outer diameter φ1700mm (up to 1.7m) × 980mm (length) You can view a comparison video of heat resistance by scanning the QR code in the catalog.
