Metcar® High Temperature Materials for Bearings Applications

Metallized Carbon Corporation, a global leader in the manufacture of oil-free, self-lubricating materials, presents Metcar Grade 2500 and Metcar Grade 9800 from itsResistox™ family of high temperature mechanical grades.  Treated with a specially formulated oxidation inhibitor, these bearings and thrust washers offer greatly increased oxidation resistance without sacrificing their self-lubricating properties,resulting in longer life.For operating temperatures between 700°-1000º F, Metcar Grade 2500 is ideal for general purpose high temperature applications where conventional lubricants would breakdown and fail.  Metcar 9800 addresses extreme temperature installations between 1000°-1100° F, such as furnaces, dryers, high temperature conveyors and dampers.Bearings manufactured from Metcar materials are self-lubricating, non-galling, dimensionally stable and have high compressive strength. Boasting remarkable resistance to oxidation, Metcar materials are completely homogeneous and provide continuous lubrication for their service life, making them an excellent candidate for bearings and bearing assemblies for applications in extreme temperature conditions.
