RT193PM Phenolic Tube – Advanced Aramid‑Resin Bearing Material

RT193PM’s substrate is composed of a hybrid aramid material that is stronger than pure aramid. The material is impregnated with a high temperature phenolic resin system which includes a non-conducting solid lubricant. This solid lubricant facilitates the use of RT193PM as a bearing material or in other wear applications.
