TRIBO/COMP® Self-LubricatingComposites
Self-lubricating bearing materials with an unequaled wear life.TIODIZE has developed new and unique self-lubricating compositematerials called TRIBO/COMP These materials use graphite fiberscombined with a resin and our proprietary lubricativepigments.

Our materials have a high strength-to-weight ratio which isone-fourth the weight of steel and two-thirds the weight ofaluminum. These graphite composites exhibit extremely long wearlife, low coefficient of friction (as low as .07) and willwithstand loads in excess of 30,000 psi. They will also havechemical inertness and good electrical and thermalconductivity.
TRIBO/COMP can be processed into a variety of mechanical shapeswhich are self-lubricating and are superior to aluminum instiffness per unit mass at temperatures to 600°F These componentsare manufactured by compression, matched-die molding and showexcellent dimensional stability through repeated heating/coolingcycles and exposure to water or water vapor, solvents and oils.
TRIBO/COMP Can Be Made In Many Shapes And Forms Such As:
Spherical Bearings
Rod End Bearings
Bushings
Stem Guides
Thrust Washers
Wear Pads
Vanes
Pistons
Slide Bearings
Bearing Retainers
Gears
Seats
