Benefits of RGC materials as seen in Compounding World September 2010
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the addition of different amounts of resilient graphitic carbon (RGC ) and isotropic graphitic carbon (IGC ) on the friction and wear properties of PA 66. Both RGC and IGC were compounded into PA 66 in two different amounts (5 and 10 vol %). The tribological performances were compared to typical values of two synthetic graphites. In order to attribute observed differences directly to the individual grades, no other additives or friction modifiers such as carbon fibre or PTFE were added.
