Starting with the base polymer TECASINT 2011, TECASINT 2031 with 40 % graphite has been developed. The plastic has high resistance to thermal ageing and improved self lubrication. This is accompanied by minimised thermal elongation for dimensionally stable components and increased creep strength.

TECASINT 2021 is a plastic reinforced with 15 % graphite and based on the base polymer TECASINT 2011. It is particularly suitable for tribological applications owing to its improved friction and wear behaviour. Thanks to its self lubricating property, TECASINT 2021 is well suited to lubricated and dry applications.

Starting with the base polymer TECASINT 2011, the plastic TECASINT 2061 with 15 % graphite and 10 % PTFE has been developed. This plastic's properties include, above all, low static friction and a low coefficient of friction. Owing to its self lubricating property, TECASINT 2061 is very good for dry application. The material is suitable for low friction and low wear applications at medium temperatures (<200°C) and loads.

TECASINT 2391 has been developed with 15 % MoS2 from the base polymer TECASINT 2011. It has optimum friction and wear properties in a vacuum, which means it can be used in space travel applications, in a vacuum or in inert gases (techn. dry). The plastic displays low outgassing in accordance with ESA regulation ECSS Q 70 20.

TECASINT 2011 is one of the unfilled natural grades. It has a very high modulus of elasticity, high rigidity and hardness. Compared with TECASINT 1011 it has significantly reduced moisture absorption, higher toughness and better machining properties. Within the TECASINT 2000 series the material has the maximum strength and elongation, together with a high modulus of elasticity and minimal thermal and electrical conductivity. TECASINT 2011 is highly pure with low outgassing in accordance with ESA regulation ECSS Q 70 20.
