Core Performance
Self-lubricating
Graphite Lubrication
A graphite-metal alloy that requires no grease or oil. Permits continuous operation and eliminates downtime.
Temperature
Withstands Heat
Up to 1,000°F / 535°C
GRAPHALLOY performs where oil-based lubricants burn off or oxidize and plastics fail.
Will not gum. melt, or seize.
Temperature
Withstands Freezing & Cryogenic
Down to -450°F / -267°C
Does not congeal or solidify at low temperatures or cryogenic conditions. Maintains self-lubrication. Operates down to -450º F / -267º C.
Operating Environment
Runs Dry
Works without lubrication. Survives run-dry applications. Eliminates galling or seizing in hot and dry conditions. Will not attract dust.
Operating Environment
Runs Wet
Operates submerged. Will not swell or wash out. Withstands a wide variety of hostile fluids.
Reliability
Dimensionally Stable
Does not cold flow or deform under pressure. Maintains its size and shape.
Chemical performance
Chemically Resistant
Insoluble in most industrial liquids. Works in acids, alkalies, hydrocarbons, water, and liquid gases.
Motion and wear
Low Coefficient of Friction
Constant, low coefficient of friction. Not just a surface layer, but solid throughout. A thin layer of GRAPHALLOY deposited on the shaft further reduces friction.
Electrical
Current Conducting
Eliminates sparks and static. Conducts well.
Protection
Corrosion Resistant
GRAPHALLOY bushings resist attack by most corrosive liquids and gases such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, chlorine water, and caustics. They also perform well in submerged or washdown applications. A thin layer of GRAPHALLOY deposited on the shaft inhibits corrosion of the shaft.
Compliance
FDA Acceptable Material
FDA acceptable material for food services. No lubrication to drip or clean up. Easily steam cleaned.
Material Composition
No PFAS
There are no PFAS in GRAPHALLOY materials.
