CIP Composite™ materials are self lubricating, laminated polymer materials made by impregnating textile with thermosetting resins. The physical properties of CIP materials make them excellent bearing materials. CIP Composites™ offer design engineers an attractive, cost effective alternative to the traditional materials used for bearings, wear pads, and thrust washers, such as bronze, brass, nylon, urethane or rubber. CIP Composites™ are only 1/6 the weight of steel, easily machined, have good dimensional stability and do not contain harmful or toxic materials.
CIP Composites™ are a non-metallic (non-graphite grades), high load, high impact and self lubricating laminated materials. Our textiles and thermosetting resins are blended with graphite, moly, PTFE, and/or other proprietary lubricants which have become major problem solvers for many industries.
CIP Composite™ bearing materials offer many advantages compared to other glass backed composite polymers, bronze and steel materials. CIP Composites™ have a wide range of applications that can be utilized and are especially ideal for pivoting and sliding applications.
