General Info
BOETEK® T-247 Bearing Grade CM PAI is a compression-molded bearing and wear grade Polyamide-Imide (PAI) formulated with graphite and PTFE lubricants for demanding pump, valve, compressor, and sealing applications. Designed for reciprocating motion under high loads and low speeds, BOETEK® T-247 provides excellent wear resistance, low friction, and reliable performance in severe-service applications where conventional bearing materials may experience excessive wear.
Typical applications include compressor piston rings, labby seals, rider rings, wear rings, valve seats, valve components, mechanical seals, rod packing rings, bushings, bearings, thrust washers, and other high-load wear components.
BOETEK® T-247 is an excellent choice for engineers seeking compression-molded PAI, bearing-grade PAI, wear-resistant PAI, graphite-filled PAI, PTFE-lubricated PAI, compressor plastics, pump wear materials, valve seat materials, and high-performance plastic bearing materials.

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
