DuraSurf™ Applications

DuraSurf™ has a long list of properties that make it ideal for applications in a wide range of fields. It combines the greatest impact strength of any thermoplastic, with a low coefficient of friction and tremendous abrasion resistance. It is extremely stable in temperatures ranging from 220°F, down to cryogenic lows. It is an excellent electric insulator, and is easily machined, punched, sawed, and drilled.

The low coefficient of friction, tremendous abrasion resistance and non-absorbing nature of DuraSurf™ makes for an outstanding running surface for snowboards and skis. It's sublimatability and dimensional stability provide for excellent graphic presentation and die cutting. Its impact resistance and machinability allow for DuraSurf™ to be used as tip fill and sidewalls, and the bondability and light weight makes for a great topsheet. Similar requirements are creating new opportunities for DuraSurf™ in the wakeboard and kiteboard industries.

DuraSurf™ can be supplied with an adhesive on one side for use as a buzz, squeak and rattle tape in the automotive industry. These tapes are also used in the furniture, appliance and material handling industries. DuraSurf™ tapes and films can be die cut into washers, gaskets and various other wear parts for use in machinery components, and countless other anti-friction / anti-wear applications.
