Etronax MF - Sheet

This cotton-based material is suitable as a construction element where high mechanical loads and strong wear occur. It can be lubricated with water, oil or grease. It's weather- and saltwater-resistant and a good alternative to materials containing asbestos.
It is used for ball-bearing cages, tool manufacturing and assembly areas: e.g. as a fixture material to move parts across a table without scratching them.

Etronax MF vs. MMF

Etronax MF (PF CC 201) and MMF share the same basic profile. Both are cotton-based, wear-resistant, and can be used for ball-bearing cages, but MMF is reinforced with a finer weave. This isn't primarily a difference in mechanical strength: it comes down to the achievable surface finish and tolerance after machining. MF's coarser weave is sufficient for larger parts or applications where tight tolerances matter less.
