This innovative composite engineering material is crafted from high-performance synthetic fibers and thermosetting resins. Each grade is available with integrated solid lubricants-such as graphite, PTFE, or molybdenum disulfide-uniformly distributed within the matrix. As the surface wears, these lubricants are continuously released, ensuring lasting performance and reduced maintenance.
Ideal for design engineers, this composite material serves as a superior alternative to traditional options in applications like bushings, bearings, and wear pads. At just one-sixth the weight of steel, it is exceptionally lightweight, easy to machine, and maintains outstanding dimensional stability-even in damp environments. Custom properties, including fire resistance and acid compatibility, can also be tailored through adjustments in resin or fabric reinforcement.
