RULON® F

RULON® F

Rulon Product

Rulon® F is a green material with excellent insulating properties and superior abrasion resistance.


It is used in a wide variety of wear component and bearing applications, and is currently used as the liner in one of our composite journal bearings.


Rulon® F exhibits excellent wear resistance, especially in dry conditions. This material suitably slides against a wide range of mating surfaces but is not recommended for contact with strong bases or steam.
