Saint-Gobain

RU Low Friction Tape

Saint-Gobain RU Low Friction Tape is manufactured from skived, patented, filled PTFE film coated one side with high-temperature silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. The Rulon backing is chemically inert and offers excellent high temperature resistance. The RU tape provides outstanding abrasion resistance, which equates to a 500-fold increase in wear resistance over PTFE in rotating bearing tests.

Superior abrasion resistance when compared to conventional PTFE films
In rotating bearing tests, provided a 500-fold increase in wear resistance over standard PTFE
Self-lubricating with a low coefficient of friction

Color: Rose

Backing/Carrier Material: Rulon® Film

Adhesive Type: Silicone

TotalThickness: 10 mil
