What is Turcite®? Turcite® is a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) resin with added fillers, such as bronze, that are extruded into solid billets as opposed to compression molding. Billets are then skived to a nominal thickness in 24" wide rolls, with lengths varying depending on thickness. One side or both sides are etched, depending on the application to accept the adhesive.

Turcite® B is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based bearing material with low friction for machine tool industry linear bearing applications.

Turcite® B comes in 12" and 24" wide rolls. Or we will custom-cut to your specifications. There is no minimum order.

Testing has shown that PTFE-based compounds are resistant to virtually all media, cutting fluids, and slideway oils. Additionally, these compounds feature outstanding wear resistance and friction characteristics.

Head-to-head material testing has shown that Turcite® B outperforms key competitive materials for low friction. Turcite® B was developed to meet the needs of machine tool manufacturers looking to improve machine tool efficiencies through low-friction material technology and reduce the stick-slip effect in machine transitions while still maintaining positioning accuracy and vibration damping.

Features and Benefits of Turcite® B

• Low friction without stick slip for positional accuracy at different velocities, especially low speeds
• Low coefficient of friction in intermittent lack of lubrications
• Chemical resistant to a broad range of lubricants for extended product life
• Reduces machine tool vibration through damping characteristics
• Minimal abrasion of hardware, preventing damage to counter surfaces
• High wear resistance for extended product life
• Thicknesses to meet design requirements

Make no mistake! 
Machine Tool Specialty Components Group supplies the original Turcite® manufactured by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions.

For over 30 years, Busak Shamban (now known as Trelleborg Sealing Solutions) has manufactured high-quality thermoplastic bearings and friction-reducing materials that are specified by OEMs worldwide.

Turcite® B Slydway® increases accuracy, reduces damage caused by mechanical breakdowns and lubrication failures, extends the life of mechanical components, saves energy, and improves stick-slip performance.

The Turcite® B Slydway® system includes the following specially formulated products used in the Slydrite^SM process of preparation and application.

• Waylock II Adhesive- Specifically formulated for bonding Turcite® B to metal surfaces.
• Waylock EZ Adhesive- The same adhesive as Waylock II Adhesive but in an easy-to-use cartridge system designed for use with our applicator guns.
• Wayprep® Industrial Degreaser and Cleaner - An environmentally friendly cleaner designed to leave no residue.

When the entire Slydrite^SM process is used, optimum results are achieved.
