CIP252B Composite
B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply is a distributor of CIP252B sheet, tube & machine components.
CIP252B is a proprietary material made specifically for marine environments. Typically used as propeller shaft and rudder bushings and is recommended in sand and silty environments. CIP252B is 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.
Properties
-
Self lubricating
-
Negligible water swell
-
Suited for fresh or salt water environments
-
Low coefficient of friction
-
High edge and shock load capabilities
-
Low thermal expansion
-
Anisotropic Properties - Will Vary When Comparing Values Normal or Parallel to Laminate
-
Compressive Strength, Breaking – ASTM D695 - Normal to Laminate = 50,000 PSI
-
Compressive Strength, Breaking – ASTM D695 - Parallel to Laminate = 13,500 PSI
-
CLTE Will Also Vary Based on Laminate Orientation
Limitations
-
Not Intended for High Speed Bearing Applications, Ideal for High Load & Slow Rotating Speed
CIP252 offers a low maintenance and cost effective solution for eliminating external lubrication without compromising performance.
