AR®-1

AR®-1 provides general abrasion resistance typically used in vertical pumps, while AR®HT is more suited to high-temperature, abrasive-resistant applications like vertical water feed pumps in nuclear facilities.

Features & Benefits

AR® materials are designed to be used across a wide range of applications. No matter how demanding the environment, our team works with you to determine the right solution for the job.

Applications include:

Centrifugal pumps
Seawater pumps
Pulp and paper applications
Bushings
Nuclear facilities
Mature product with competitor materials available.
Direct replacement for cutlass rubber, bronze & Thordon bearings.
Exceptional abrasion resistance
Broad corrosion and chemical resistance
Excellent shock and impact resistance
Non-Seize / Non-Gall properties – AR® components will preferentially wear if contact occurs with rotating metal parts
GT can supply a full turnkey solution of a metal carrier with composite insert

Applications

Bearings as solInner
Diameterparts only and full assembly in metalor xycomp carrier

Temperature Range

–20°C to 280°C (–4°F to 536°F)
