Its low friction coefficient (~0.2–0.3) ensures smooth operation and durability.
     • Fuel System Components: KOCETAL® K500’s chemical resistance (resistant to fuels, oils, and solvents) makes it suitable for fuel pump housings and valve components.
     • Interior and Exterior Parts: Its dimensional stability (mold shrinkage: ~2%) and surface finish support the production of clips, fasteners, and trim components with tight tolerances.
2. Electrical and Electronics
   • The resin’s electrical insulating properties and dimensional accuracy make it a preferred material for electrical and electronic applications.
     • Connectors and Housings: KOCETAL® K500’s low viscosity enables the molding of intricate connector designs with thin walls (wall thickness as low as 0.5 mm). Its dielectric strength (~20 kV/mm) ensures reliable performance in electrical insulation applications.
     • Switches and Relays: The material’s high stiffness and fatigue resistance (fatigue strength: ~30 MPa at 10^6 cycles) support long-term reliability in switch mechanisms.
3. Industrial and Mechanical Components
   • KOCETAL® K500 is used in industrial applications requiring robust, precision-engineered parts.
     • Bearings and Bushings: Its low friction and high wear resistance (wear rate: ~0.01–0.02 mm³/N·m) make it ideal for bearings and bushings in machinery, reducing maintenance needs.
     • Multi-Cavity Molds: The resin’s excellent flowability (melt flow index: ~20–25 g/10 min at 190°C/2.16 kg) supports high-precision molding in multi-cavity tools, reducing cycle times and improving productivity.
     • Conveyor Components: Used in conveyor belt clips and guides due to its durability and resistance to abrasion.
