MELDIN® 2000 materials exhibit superior tensile strength and elongation properties, even at elevated temperatures, providing the mechanical integrity necessary for the most demanding applications.
High Compressive Strength
With an ultimate compressive strength of over 40,000 PSI and a usable limit of 34,000 PSI at 10% strain, MELDIN® 2001 provides the highest resistance to compressive failure of any of the MELDIN® 2000 compositions. The additional formulations, however, also offer excellent compressive properties.
High Modulus
MELDIN® 2000 materials have inherently high moduli and yield points in tension, compression, and flex. These combined features provide non-brittle materials for use in applications where extreme rigidity is essential.
Superior Creep Resistance
These materials all display minimal deformation under.load. MELDIN® 2030 provides additional ductility and conformability without sacrificing load carrying capacity when a sealing surface is required. These characteristics allow for dry-running bearing operation at high pressure velocities (PV) and high static loading without concern for deflection.
Superb Dimensional Stability
MELDIN® 2000 products have no observable melting point. This feature, combined with an extremely low thermal expansion, high resistance to deformation under load, and low hysteresis, provides excellent dimensional stability. Even under the most severe conditions of harsh chemicals and temperature extremes, MELDIN® 2000 retains its dimensional quality and functionality.
Balanced Electrical Properties
Both MELDIN® 2001 and MELDIN® 2030 have high dielectric strength, a stable dielectric constant, and very high volume and surface resistivity. MELDIN® 2001, with its balance of physical and electrical properties, is ideal for stationary electrical insulating applications. Bearings made of MELDIN® 2030 provide dry self-lubrication in addition to electrical insulation.In independant testing to ASTM R595 MELDIN® 2000 exhibited remarkabley low outgassing. Other than absorbed water, MELDIN® 2000 materials showed negligable mass loss and collectible condensables. This feature allows for trouble-free, clean operation in ultra-high vacuum environments.
MELDIN® 2001
This material is best suited for thermal and electrical insulation and radiation resistance. MELDIN® 2001 has the highest compressive properties of any material in the series.
MELDIN® 2021
A multi-purpose bearing grade for high-temperature and high-load applications, MELDIN® 2021 maintains its strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures.
MELDIN® 2030
The MELDIN® 2030 bearing compound operates with extremely low friction in both dynamic and static applications, and provides thermal and electrical insulation.
