Composites: Composite materials are thermoset materials reinforced by impregnating fabric with thermosetting resins. The result is a material with excellent strength, impact resistance and dimensional stability.

The precise formulation of Composites can be varied to suit specific applications, but all grades have outstanding chemical and mechanical properties.

An extremely low coefficient of friction, high PV limit, and superior wear performance make Composites a supreme bearing material, particularly when working with heavy loads.

At 1/6 the weight, Composites are an ideal replacement for brass and plugged bronze. With virtually no water absorption or swelling in water, Composites are a perfect material choice for wet applications.

Composites are commonly used for electrical isolators, Offshore marine bearings, bushings, thrust washers, FPSO bushings, FPSO bearings, FPSO thrust washers, wear pads and wear rings.

Please see the Thermoset Materials page for technical specifications on all grades of readily available Composites, or request your own personal copy of AIP's Material Specifications Brochure.
