Many thanks for your help gentlmen,
I'm looking into your suggestions. Availability may be an issue with some of these polymers....
I'll let you know how I get on and how well they perform for the task.

Sorry,
I forgot to add that the application is to (button) a piston to prevent metal to metal contact abrasion. The piston will be travelling at high speed under fairly high heat conditions.

Hi,
I'm in need of some advice on which material to use please.
I need a polymer which can handle high temperature with very low wear, very low friction and no abrasion characteristics.
The one's which I'm considering so far are
1) Acetal Homopolymer (Delrin)
2) Torlon 4301 PAI
3) Vespel...
