Reducing Friction Saves Energy

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions can contribute to cost savings by helping lower frictionTrelleborg Sealing Solutions puts a lot of emphasis on developing solutions that minimize friction in sealing systems. In particular, Turcon® PTFE based (Poly-Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene) and Zurcon® polyurethane sealing materials improve efficiency in dynamic hydraulic applications. Innovative seals, such as Turcon® Stepseal® 2K and Zurcon® U-Cup RU9, use patented technologies with tribological benefits. Lars Pleth Nielsen, Manager of the Tribology Center at the Danish Technological Institute, believes that the
