TriStar Plastics Corp. and an international defense weapons producer
have teamed up to produce several components used in the Sea Sparrow
surface to air missile system found aboard US Naval ships and NATO
agencies globally.
All components are made from Rulon® LR and act as various bearing
surfaces within the control systems. Rulon® LR provides excellent wear
properties as well as high temperature capabilities; therefore proximity
to the rocket motor is not an issue. In addition, the characteristics of
the material provide extremely low friction, eliminating the need for
any lubrication. Since these missiles can be stored for months, or even
years, it is critical that when the time comes to activate various systems, they are stable and free of breakaway friction.
For more specific information on the Rulon® product line and compounds available call us at
1-800-TRISTAR or visit our website at tstar.com.
We've created "The
TriStar Advantage" with you in mind.
