Polyester - revolutionising suspension bushing technology

What do motorists look for in a suspension bushing?

‘A durable suspension bushing resistant to chemicals & weathering, that reduces suspension serviceability, reduces tyre wear, enhances vehicle handling and suspension geometry with no or minimal trade off in ride comfort’.

Solution............................

Noltec has engineered a unique polyester compound that delivers durable, reliable suspension feedback combined with softer more absorbent physical qualities. This compound is the first to incorporate ‘polyester’ technology in a suspension bush environment and is manufactured at grades up to 25% softer (in a majority of applications) than competitors existing polyurethane offerings. Noltec market a massive range of unique polyester bushings that deliver a desirable driving experience.


What is the difference between polyester & polyurethane?

Stemming from the plastics family, this unique balance of polyester properties produces results that customers have desired for over a decade. Previous & current polyurethane offerings focus on durability and performance, but have fell short on a product with softer characteristics that complements these qualities. Noltec’s advanced polyester technology is a progression in the evolutionary chain for suspension bushings with ride comfort a desire now fulfilled. Noltec’ polyester suspension bushes are designed to last, designed to perform and designed with ride quality in mind.

What is the difference between polyester & rubber?

Rubber is the perfect suspension component for vehicle manufacturers as it is cheap to manufacture and provides unquestionable ride comfort. Unfortunately its ability to last is a major issue as they do seem to suffer from premature failure, causing unnecessary strain on other related suspension components, on tyre wear, on vehicle handling and on braking capacity. In the past polyurethane offered all these advantages but fell short in the ride comfort stakes. With Noltec’s advanced polyester technology neither ride quality nor durability is sacrificed with the customer exposed to the best of both worlds. Manufactured in the softer durometer (hardness), these polyester bushings almost match the rubber on ride quality whilst its long life guarantees vehicle stability, longer tyre life, increased handling and braking. Make sure you make the right decision , ‘Out with the old, in with the blue!!!’.
