Applications:

  • Automotive Components:
    KOCETAL K300 is widely used in the automotive industry for parts requiring high mechanical strength, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy. Its ability to withstand friction and chemical exposure (e.g., fuels and lubricants) makes it ideal for:
    • Gears and Bearings: The low friction and high wear resistance (wear rate <0.1 mm³/Nm under specific conditions) allow KOCETAL K300 to be used in gears, bushings, and bearings in automotive systems like transmissions and steering mechanisms.
    • Fuel System Components: Its chemical resistance ensures reliability in fuel pumps, valves, and connectors exposed to gasoline and diesel.
    • Interior and Exterior Parts: Clips, fasteners, and sliders benefit from its dimensional stability (shrinkage rate <2%) and good surface finish, ensuring consistent performance in high-precision components.
      Example: KOCETAL K300 is used in automotive door lock mechanisms, where its high rigidity (flexural modulus of 2,500 MPa) and low wear ensure long-term reliability under repeated mechanical stress.
  • Electrical and Electronic Components:
    The electrical insulating properties and dimensional stability of KOCETAL K300 make it suitable for electronic applications where precision and reliability are critical.
    • Connectors and Housings: Its dielectric strength (approximately 20 kV/mm) and low moisture absorption (<0.2%) ensure stable performance in connectors and insulating housings for electronic devices.
    • Switches and Relays: The material’s high stiffness and fatigue resistance (fatigue limit >30 MPa after 10⁷ cycles) support its use in components subject to repeated mechanical stress.
    • Office Equipment: KOCETAL K300 is used in printer and copier components, such as gears and rollers, due to its moldability and wear resistance.
      Example: In printer gear assemblies, KOCETAL K300’s low friction coefficient (approximately 0.2-0.3) and high crystallinity ensure smooth operation and durability over extended use.
  • Consumer Goods:
    KOCETAL K300’s aesthetic surface finish, toughness, and resistance to wear and chemicals make it a popular choice for consumer products.
    • Zippers and Fasteners: Its high tensile strength and dimensional stability ensure reliable performance in zippers for clothing and bags.
    • Appliance Components: Used in household appliances like washing machines and refrigerators for parts such as rollers and hinges, where its creep resistance and thermal stability (up to 110°C) are critical.
    • Sporting Goods: Components like buckles and clips in outdoor equipment benefit from its weather resistance and toughness.
      Example: In washing machine drum bearings, KOCETAL K300’s chemical resistance and low wear rate ensure longevity despite exposure to detergents and mechanical stress.
  • Industrial Applications:
    KOCETAL K300’s mechanical properties and processability make it suitable for industrial components requiring precision and durability.
    • Conveyor System Parts: Rollers and guides in conveyor systems leverage the material’s low friction and high wear resistance to maintain efficiency.
    • Pump Components: Its chemical resistance and dimensional stability make it ideal for pump impellers and housings in industrial fluid systems.
    • Precision Engineering Parts: The material’s moldability (melt flow rate of 9.5 g/10 min) allows for the production of complex parts with tight tolerances, such as fittings and couplings.
      Example: In conveyor belt rollers, KOCETAL K300’s low friction and high fatigue resistance ensure consistent performance under continuous operation.
  • Outdoor Applications:
    KOCETAL K300’s weathering resistance and mechanical stability make it suitable for outdoor use.
    • Agricultural Equipment: Components like irrigation system fittings benefit from its resistance to UV exposure and chemicals.
    • Garden Tools: Handles and mechanical parts in tools like lawnmowers use KOCETAL K300 for its toughness and dimensional stability.
      Example: In irrigation valves, KOCETAL K300’s chemical and weathering resistance ensures reliable operation in harsh outdoor environments.
