Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations on plastic types that would have a low coefficient of friction (ideally < 0.2), fairly hard (> Shore D 60-70) and stable under radiation (the product needs to be sterilized by E-beam, nominal 25 kGray dose).

My best candidate so far is Halar but I'd be interested in any other ideas (or experience with Halar)

Thnx
