POBCO performance materials

POBCO-B® HARDWOOD ( NO-STATIC BUILDUP)
POBCO-B lubricant-impregnated hardwood bearings, wearstrips and components often provide the best overall
service of our various bearing materials. These natural fiber bearings are 100% filled with a blend of fluid
lubricants. They render a greater speed/load capacity and have a lower wearrate factor than many plastics. This
product has official approval for use in the food and beverage industri. ( 100% Dieletric)

POBCO ULTRA-D & HI-TEMP. (to 275°F) ULTRA
POBCO Ultra-D bearings and components are made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE)
having a molecularweight af 4.5 to 6.67 million. This material is widely used in rough service in the presence of
abrasive particles and performs well I wet and most chemical environments. It is FDA and USDA approven for direct
contact with food products. (Special Blends Available)

POBCO PLUS®
POBCO Plus bearings and components are manufactured utilizinga food grade fluid lubricant united with UHMW-PE
plastic. This product was developed to retain the basic properties of UHMW-PE while creating a plastic bearing material
which reduces the coefficient of friction and wear rate factor. POBCO Plus meets all official requirements for use in
the food and beverage industri. Reduces drag and friction up to 40%.

POBCO STATIC-DISSIPATIVE/ANTI-STATIC MATERIALS
POBCO offers several plastics materials with varying degrees of static-reduction capabilities, including black
Ultra-D (UHMW). These materials can help solve electrical discharge and dirt/grime attraction problems. These
materials offer excellent wear and bearing properties and are avaible in many standard and custom shapes and sizes
including Guide Rails, Wear Strips, Clip-Ons, Bearings and Cobveyor Rollers. Minimus may apply. These plastic
materials are not FDA/USDA compliant.
Static-dissipaive Range: Surface Resistivity 105 – 109 ohms/square
Anti-static Range: Surface Resistivity 109 – 1014 ohms/ square
