Graphite-Filled Phenolic Materials Overview
Graphite-filled phenolic materials are composite materials made from phenolic resin reinforced with graphite fillers. This combination offers excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties, making these materials ideal for applications requiring low friction and durability under high stress. The graphite filler enhances the material’s ability to withstand high temperatures while reducing friction, making it perfect for use in bushings, bearings, seals, and other components where smooth operation and long service life are essential. These materials are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery.
