General Info
Rulon ® J is dull gold in color and provides one of the lowest coefficient of friction of all Rulons, and provides good wear and abrasion resistance. Because this grade is "all plastic", it can be run on non-ferrous and non-metallic mating surfaces such as 316 Stainless, brass, and other plastics. It is used in both bearing and seal applications, but is generally not suitable for use in alkaline or oxidizing acid solutions. This is the best Rulon grade for aluminum and soft mating surfaces.
Rulon ® J offers a very low coefficient of friction vs. other filled PTFE grades.
