The Tufcot® range of material grades resin systems incorporate different additives and/or fillers along with different fabric reinforcing’s to achieve the end product our customers require.
Tufcot currently has 4 main resin systems in use.
However, to ensure we are in a position to meet the requirements of new applications, our R and D department are developing other systems to compliment the current range.

Tufcot® Material Grades
Tufcot® Material Grades Chart
| Grade | Colour | Application | Properties |
|---|---|---|---|
| T100 | White | Water, Oil | Dimensionally stable bearing material for the use primarily in harmless fluids. |
| T100G | Dark Grey | Replace existing metallic or non-metallic bearing materials. | Self lubricating version of T100. An inexpensive general purpose hard wearing material. Tufcot’s standard grade. Tufcot also produces T100GX with extra graphite. |
| T100M | Light Grey | Replace existing metallic or non-metallic bearing materials. | Self lubricating high performance bearing material. |
| T100MP | Light Grey | Replace existing metallic or non-metallic bearing materials in the marine sector. | Self lubricating high performance bearing material with low friction. Tufcot’s marine grade. |
| T200MP | Blue Grey | Replace existing metallic or non-metallic bearing materials in the marine sector where enhanced temperature is required. | Enhanced temperature version of T100M + PTFE. Limited chemical resistance but capable of withstanding:
|
| T200G | Dark Grey | Replace existing metallic or non-metallic bearing materials where enhanced temperature is required. | Enhanced temperature version of T100G. Limited chemical resistance but capable of withstanding:
|
| T200P | Brown | High slip properties means it is suitable for Wear Pad or Press Slide arm applications. | High slip properties. This is applicable for enhanced temperature applications. |
| T400G | Light Grey | This grade is suitable for underground mining applications and anywhere with the potential for fire. | Tufcot’s 400 range of resin is for fire retardance but is still self lubricating. |
| T600G | Dark Grey | This grade is suitable for sewage, acid pickling baths and acid vapour environments. | Tufcot’s 600 range is a superior chemical resistance grade at lower temperatures than T200G. |
| T100XPL | Grey/To Order | For use in high slip applications for example Wear Pads. | Special PTFE layer incorporated in wearing surface which creates a very low co-efficient of friction. |
| T600 | To order | Superior chemical resistance. |
KEY:
- G –Graphite
- XPL – Special PTFE layer
- M- Molybdenum Disulphide
- PTFE – Polytetrafluoroethylene
