Meldin 5000 series

Toughness and Durability

Meldin 5000

MELDIN® 5000 components offer many other advantages over metals, machined ceramics, and other costly machined materials with the ease and convenience of thermoplastics.

With their high tensile, compressive, and flexural strength, these products replace conventional materials with added toughness, including impact resistance and electrical insulation.

Tight Tolerance Moulding
Since MELDIN® 5000 materials are injection moulded into tight-tolerance finished component shapes, metal-like finishes are available without expensive machining.

In addition, complex designs are attainable without costly secondary operations.

Complete Product Offering
Three structural grades provide a full complement of choices, matching component base material to end use application. MELDIN® 5001, MELDIN® 5015, and MELDIN® 5025 provide excellent chemical resistance and thermomechanical properties in addition to superior dimensional stability and physical strength. MELDIN® 5055 combines these excellent porperties with inherent lubricity for bearing applications.

Diverse Applications
MELDIN® 5000 products provide invaluable service in an extensive range of applications. Virtually every industry can benefit by adding high performance and high quality MELDIN® 5000 bearings, bushings, insulators, piston rings, connectors, valve seats, and other component shapes and configurations, into their designs.

Tranmission thrust washers & rings
Possible applications for MELDIN® 5000 series materials are numerous in transmissions of heavy and light vehicles. Mainly used as thrust washers or piston rings the MELDIN® 5000 series offer excellent self lubrication characteristics for dry running applications and high wear resistance.

Compressor scroll tip seals
For scroll tip seals applications MELDIN® 5000 series materials provide some parts with superior wear resistance properties and superior deformation properties over those of standard PTFE scroll tip seals.

Vanes for air motors and pumps
There are different MELDIN® grades available, depending on the temperatures, speeds, and housing materials of the different applications. The MELDIN® vane outperforms carbon or phenolic vanes in terms of wear resistance and it does not require any external lubricants.

MELDIN® 5001
components offer superior strength in structural applications when electrical insulation combined with intricate part design is required. The melt characteristics of MELDIN® 5001 material allow for fine detail, regardless of part complexity.

MELDIN® 5025
components supply the highest level of strength and rigidity. It maintains its high tensile, flexural, and compressive properties, even at elevated temperatures.

MELDIN® 5055
Low-friction, wear resistant bearings custom moulded from MELDIN® 5055 compound perform at high loads and high temperatures with minimal deformation.
MELDIN® 5055 is self-lubricating, operates quietly, and is resistant to most chemicals and fluids.

MELDIN® 5330
Specify MELDIN® 5330 when part requirements include structural integrity and high resistance to thermal expansion. This material exhibits good wear properties and dimensional stability, making it a good candidate for bearing applications.
