| | Special Characteristics | | Compestos materials do not require specials lubricants. They are compatible with water emulsions, many chemicals and normal lubricating oils, grease, compounds, molybdenum di-sulphide paste etc.
Compestosmaterials are characterised by the following outstanding properties: - Excellent dimensional stability
- Good wear and chemical resistance
- Low moisture absorption
- Very high strength to weight ratio
- High temperature resistance
- High impact resistance
- Excellent irradiation characteristics
- Impervious to effects of moisture of marine exposure
- Resistant to vermin attack.
These outstanding properties make compestos superior to conventional materials for application involving bearings, wearing pads, gears and other rotating or reciprocating parts. | | GRADE LS 30 | | This is the General purpose laminated Sheet having a dry lubricating incorporated evenly throughout the structure which lowers the co-efficient of friction and imparts self lubricating properties. LS 30 can be effectively used under widely differing conditions, involving: - High surface speed with lighter loads or low speeds with heavy loads,
- Parts subjected to high stresses,
- Situations where by normal methods is difficult, intermittent or indeed impossible,
- Situations where corrosive conditions, electrical conductivity etc. rule out the use of metals.
| | GRADELS 10 | | This is a special application Laminated Sheet, having relatively high co-efficient of friction. Grade LS 10 is an Effective replacement for Grade LS 30 where frictional forces are minimum and external lubrication is possibleDue to its good electrical resistance and antistatic nature, it is used as a flooring material in railways. | | APPLICATIONS | | Bushes, Bearings, Wear Strips, Centre Pivots, Rubbing Pads, Thrust Washers, Doctor Blades, Compressor Blades and Rotor Blades, Seatings, Guides, Facings, Slides, Valve Discs, Tread Plates, Pump Rings, Impellers and Gears. | | RANGEOF SIZES | | LS30 and LS10 are both available in sheet size of 1000mm x 1000 mm. and in the thickness range of 3.0 mm to 51.0 mm. Sheet sizes other than 1000mm x 1000mm. can also be supplied if production volume and constraints permit. | |
