Tufcot® T100 resin system is our standard grade resin, used in many general bearing applications. This system is provided in 5 different grades, each suited to different industries and types of applications.
T100 is often used in non-critical applications where a lubricant is either not required or recommended, such as an insulator. However, it can be used with the addition of different solid lubricants. This allows the self-lubricating nature of the Tufcot® material to work with the mating parts.
The reason our T100 grade is so effective is because it is able to operate to high temperatures and with a low friction value.

Tufcot® T100 Material Grades
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. |
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. |
