The material

Maritex bearings are advanced composite bearings using a selection of fibres and resins, lubricants and surface chemistry to produce a unique material that has low friction and low wear in its designed environment.

Maritex is Lloyds approved for shafts and rudders but is also used in a wide range of other applications where high pressures are expected and other materials have failed.

With Aquarius, the combination of strength (almost equal in all planes) active lubricants and a base resin that does not soften with heat, result in a material that does not creep even when pushed beyond it's designed temperature or pressure. The resin hardens and polishes with heat.

We have also solved customers problems by developing bespoke materials for their unique applications. 

Maritex is also available as a WRAS approved material for drinking water systems through Exalto UK Limted.
