PTFE Plates
High-density PTFE billets are compression molded, oven-aged, and face milled to deliver stress-free plates ready for CNC conversion into bridge sliding pads, offshore bearing blocks, or industrial wear strips.
ISO 9001:2015
Billet molding, aging, and machining executed under audited procedures.
EN 1337-2
Plate properties exceed bridge bearing requirements for sliding elements.
Certificates
Comprehensive documentation packages accompany every shipment to simplify validation.
