A new line of all-polymeric wear additive (APWA) compounds provide improved wear resistance. Free of particulate or fluid additives, the materials provide excellent plastic-on-plastic performance without sacrificing properties inherent to the host resin. The additives provide better flow during molding, letting thin walls and intricate designs fill easily. They also let manufacturers use less material, with specific-gravity reductions of up to 10% over similar PTFE-lubricated materials.
