Vectra® A 15% Reinforced Glass Fiber Rod

Vectra® A 15% Reinforced Glass Fiber Rods are part of our range of rods made from high performance engineering thermoplastics. They contain 15% glass fiber reinforcement for added strength and rigidity. Vectra® A 15% Reinforced Glass Fiber Rods are commonly used in applications requiring good dimensional stability like precision components, bushings, bearings and wear strips. Their combination of high stiffness, low friction and dimensional stability also make theme an ideal choice for sliding contact applications.
