AR® - Abrasion Resistant
Energy, Industrial, Semiconductor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Better Uptime, Low Maintenance
Are you looking to improve uptime without reducing the life of your engineered components? Greene Tweed’s AR® (Abrasion Resistant) line is designed to protect centrifugal pump systems from sand, coal ash, and other solids. AR® components can operate in temperatures from subzero up to 121°C (250°F).
AR® 1 provides general abrasion resistance typically used in vertical pumps, while AR®HT is more suited to high-temperature, abrasive-resistant applications like vertical water feed pumps in nuclear facilities.
Features and Benefits
- Superior abrasion resistance
- Less harsh to mating hardware
- AR® 1 material is filled PTFE, while AR®HT is a blend of PTFE and PEEK
- Can operate in subzero temperatures up to 121°C (250°F)
- Enhanced chemical resistance
