Graficomp are composite material soaking special synthetic tissues with thermo-fixed resins. The physical and mechanical properties of all the Graficomp material are an excellent option to tribology material.
The Graficomp composites can be uses in bearings, wear plates, self-lubricating guides and other compounds, replacing bronze and graphite bronze.
This line can be used in industry of power generation, petroleum and gas, and naval industry.
Like Graficomp Hidro, Graficomp Naval is a compound whose matrix is a polyester resin for naval use, therefore, immune to hydrolysis reinforced with polyester fabric and nano solid lubricants throughout the structure.
Applications: propeller shaft bearings, side propeller bearings, stabilizer bearings, hoist winch bearings, rudder bearings, fairlead bushes, tanker mooring systems, mooring buoy bearings, hydromechanical excavators.
