Composites

Our imported composites are manufactured from synthetic fabric or fibre reinforcement and thermosetting resins. They offer designers and engineers an attractive, economical alternative to traditional materials used throughout industry for bushes, bearings, wear pads and many more applications.

Our composite is 1/6th the weight of steel, easily machined, contains no harmful or toxic materials and has exceptional dimensional stability, even when immersed in water.

It is highly recommended for use where other forms of lubricant are either not desirable or erratic, intermittent or none existent.

All grades of our products are available with solid lubricant incorporated. The various grades contain, solely or a combination of, Graphite, P.T.F.E. or Molybdenum Disulphide dispersed evenly throughout the material. By varying the fabric reinforcement and the resin used, the physical and chemical properties of the material can be engineered to suit a wide range of applications.

The chemical resistance of our composites allows many process liquors, solvents and sludge’s to be used as lubricants, in addition light or heavy mineral oils, vegetable oils, soluble oils and greases are satisfactory.

The surface asperities of the fibres in our products tend to hold lubricant and thus assist in the maintenance of a continuous film on the working surface.

However the grade T100 in particular has an extremely low rate of moisture absorption less than 0.1% volumetric and therefore negligible dimensional change, making it ideally suitable for use in submerged water applications.

Special performance or properties such as fire retardant and acid resistance can be obtained by variations in either the resin and or fabric reinforcement.

Speciality

·         Our composite engineering material manufactured from synthetic fibres and thermosetting resins.

·         All grades are available with solid lubricant incorporated.

·         The various grades contain either Graphite, P.T.F.E or Molybdenum Disulphide dispersed evenly throughout the material, so that the wear of a components surface continually releases further lubricant.

·         We offer an attractive alternative to traditional materials used throughout industry for bushes, bearings, wear pads, and many more applications.

·         Our material is only 1/6th the weight of steel, is easily machined and has exceptional dimensional stability, even in wet conditions.

·         Our material is a highly recommended composite material for use where other forms of lubricant are either not desirable, intermittent or non-existent.

·         In addition, in numerous cases where the maintenance of lubricant films is difficult this type of material has been found to give improved performance.

·         Special performance or properties such as fire retardance and acid resistance can be obtained by variations in either resin or fabric reinforcement.

·         The chemical resistance of our composites allows many process liquors, solvents and sludge’s to be used as lubricants, in addition light or heavy mineral oils, vegetable oils, soluble oils and greases are satisfactory.
