ABRASIVE-RESISTANT THERMOPLASTICS
A R
Sand and other abrasives are often a challenge for pump users in
the power industry. Clearances on line shaft bearings and bowl wear

rings open up, increasing pump vibrations and reducing pump
efficiency. Greene, Tweeds proprietary AR thermoplastic materials
\
exhibit outstanding wear characteristics in media containing solids.
p r o d u c t
AR1 offers excellent abrasive resistance as well as chemical resistance
approaching that of PTFE. AR1 is rated from ambient to 120F
(49C). AR1 is easy to machine, and clearance requirements are
easily determined. AR1 works well in a variety of pumps in the
power industry including those working with circulating water,
d a t a
open and closed cooling water and river water as well as screen
wash pumps. AR materials have performance characteristics that

exceed traditional technologies such as cutlass rubber, bronze and
carbon materials. Circulating water pumps Screen wash pumps

Note: Bearings made from each of the materials (size: 2 in. x 1.5 in. x 1.5 in./
5.08 cm x 3.81 cm x 3.81 cm) were tested at 900 rpm under 25 psi (0.172
MPa). The run time of the test was eight hours. The test was conducted on
300 series SS shaft, in 95 percent water and 5 percent silica sand. All materials
were tested at 70F (22C). Additionally, ARHT was tested at 250F (121C)
in ethylene glycol.
