Composite Materials for The Structural Industry

Tufcot are proud to have worked within the Structural industry for over 35 years.

Tufcot® structural bearings are typically manufactured from our material grade T100G.

In many instances, special surface finishes or treatments can be applied to provide through-life lubrication systems for bearing assembly.

Replacing Steel & Other Materials

Tufcot® composite materials have an advantage over traditional materials and offer a alternative approach to bearing design.

Our composite bearing materials eliminated the need for steels that corrode and other materials that are both expensive and can deteriorate over time.

Tufcot® composite materials do not corrode, are not affected by UV or changes in humidity, that are not bio-degradable, need no maintenance and have an infinite lifespan!
