Redwood Plastics REDCO™ TUFFKAST 015 High Performance Plastic Material
Categories:	Polymer
Material Notes:	Redco™ Tuffkast has a combination of strength and resilience resulting in a high performance plastic that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance with rigidity, minimal water absorption and superior impact values. Ideal for harsh environments where excessive weight, water saturation, abrasion, shock and impact are factors. Liquid lubricant is impregnated within the polymer chain which offers excellent surface lubricity for wear resistance and a reduced co-efficient of friction. Withstands shock, vibration and loads up to 4,000 psi. Lowest moisture absorption of any of the Tuffkast or nylon materials. Primarily intended for marine applications.
