High strength with excellent wear resistance and durability
Tenmat Wear composite materials used for marine bearings combine high strength with excellent wear resistance and durability. These characteristics yield high-performance marine bearings for all types of service conditions, especially in arduous abrasive and sand-laden waters, thus reducing maintenance and operating costs for end users.
Furthermore, Tenmat Wear composites are proven not to support biofouling which can help avoid premature wear due to organic growth.
Proven in Defence and Naval Marine Applications
PROVEN FOR DEFENCE
Tenmat Wear’s advanced composite marine bearing materials are trusted not only in commercial marine environments but also across defence and naval vessels worldwide. Specified by leading navies, Tenmat materials are used on platforms ranging from patrol boats and frigates to submarines and aircraft carriers.
Engineered for extreme conditions, these marine and naval bearings deliver outstanding wear resistance, shock absorption and low noise performance. Their self-lubricating, low-maintenance properties make them a reliable choice for safety-critical naval applications where long-term performance and dependability are essential.
