CIP Hydro™
CIP Hydro is manufactured with polyester and PTFE combined textile along with high performance polyester resin and solid lubricants evenly dispersed lubrication throughout the material eliminating the need for additional external lubricants. Proprietary additives are included to increase the overall strength and reduce friction and wear.
Tested by Powertech Labs.
Benefits
- Environmentally friendly
- Self lubricating
- High edge and shock load capabilities
- Low coefficient of friction
- Negligible water swell
- Low thermal expansion
CIP Marine™
CIP Marine is manufactured with polyester textile and a high performance polyester resin with solid lubricants PTFE and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) evenly dispersed throughout the resin. Typically used as propeller shaft and rudder bushings. CIP Marine is a proprietary material specifically developed for marine environments. This combination of resin reinforced with textile creates a dimensionally stable material ideal for replacing bronze in marine environments.
Benefits
- Environmentally friendly
- Self lubricating
- Suited for fresh or salt water environments
- Low coefficient of friction
- Negligible water swell
CIP151A
One of our most commonly used materials due to its ability to provide excellent performance in a wide range of applications and environments. 100% polyester material (textile and resin) with the solid lubrication additives PTFE and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) evenly dispersed throughout the resin. Enhancement A is added, increasing the overall strength and reduce friction and wear.
Benefits
- Self lubricating
- Low coefficient of friction
- High edge and shock load capabilities
- High load capacity
- Negligible water swell
- Environmentally friendly
CIP131
A very cost effective material commonly used for wear ring, stable in hydraulic fluids, and nonabrasive to mating surfaces. 100% polyester material (textile and resin) with PTFE evenly dispersed throughout the resin system. Material is recognized as safe with indirect contact with food – FDA: Title 21 parts 107-199. This material can easily be dyed, however, may require an up charge and a minimum order must be met. NOTE: the color may vary slightly from run to run.
Benefits
- Self lubricating
- Low coefficient of friction
- High load capacity
- Excellent mechanical strength
- Low thermal expansion
- Chemically resistant
CIP121
Commonly used in general industrial applications, wet or dry, where high shock or edge loading is anticipated. 100% polyester material (textile and resin) with the solid lubricants molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) evenly dispersed throughout the resin system.
Benefits
- Self lubricating
- Low coefficient of friction
- High edge and shock load capabilities
- Excellent mechanical strength
- Low thermal expansion
- Negligible water swell
CIP111
Ideal for dry/indoor applications, this material offers a low maintenance and cost effective solution for eliminating external lubrication without compromising performance. 100% polyester material (textile and resin) with the solid lubricant graphite evenly dispersed throughout the resin system.
Benefits
CIP101
Made with 100% polyester material (textile and resin) with no solid lubricants added, makes this our most cost effective solution for a range of static applications, and is commonly used as electrical insulators.
Benefits
- Nonconducting
- High load capacity
- Excellent mechanical strength
- Low thermal expansion
- Negligible water swell
- Chemically resistant
CIP251A

- Low thermal expansion
CIP252
Proprietary material made specifically for marine environments. Typically used as propeller shaft and rudder bushings and is recommended in sand and silty environments. Manufactured with polyester and PTFE combined textile and a high grade marine polyester resin with the solid lubrication additives PTFE and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) evenly dispersed throughout the resin. This combination of resin reinforced with textile creates a dimensionally stable material ideal for replacing bronze in marine environments.
Benefits
- Self lubricating
- Negligible water swell
- Suited for fresh or salt water environments
- Low coefficient of friction
- High edge and shock load capabilities
