General Info
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.

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.
