Any slides using plastic retainers may be used up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The substitution of high temperature retainers allow slides to be used at greater temperatures. Above 212 degrees Fahrenheit the hardness of the bearing surfaces begins to degrade. Slides in these applications may not have the normal life expectancy.
