    New to the Lithuanian market – Thordon Bearings’ polymer bearings and shaft components that do not require lubrication with grease or oil. The Canadian manufacturer’s solutions completely prevent any potential oil and grease leaks, as all products are only lubricated with potable or seawater or other liquids with a pH between 3 and 11. The bearings are made of proprietary polymeric materials that have an extremely low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance: ThorPlas-Blue, ThorPlas-White, XL, SXL and Composite (GM2401). Each has different properties, i.e. resistance to acids, alkalis, abrasives and high temperatures.

    BENEFITS OF POLYMER BEARINGS

    • Self-lubricating: bearings do not need oil or grease, but are lubricated with water or other liquids, and can operate without lubrication in some cases.
    • Durability and reliability: unique polymer materials ensure low friction and wear resistance, resulting in longer bearing life and less maintenance.
    • Environmentally friendly: lubrication with water or other harmless liquids avoids environmental pollution from oil or grease, contributing to the sustainable development of the industry.
    • Wide range of applications: suitable for a wide range of industries such as shipping, hydropower, food, etc. where efficiency and environmental protection are important.
