SXL

Thordon SXL is built for high-load, abrasive service conditions. It provides low friction, outstanding wear resistance, and excellent impact tolerance, making it dependable in dry start-ups and water-lubricated bearing systems.

Shapes Offered


Composite-GM2401

GM2401 is a high-compression composite suited to demanding mechanical environments. It maintains shape under pressure, handles wide temperature variations, and resists wear across extended duty cycles.

Shapes Offered


XL

Thordon XL combines abrasion resistance with material elasticity, reducing wear in dirty or contaminated settings. Fully water-lubricated, it eliminates the need for grease or oil and minimizes maintenance in industrial and marine equipment.

Shapes Offered


ThorPlas-Blue

ThorPlas-Blue is a chemically resistant, self-lubricating thermoplastic for high-temperature and corrosive environments. Approved for potable water systems, it's commonly applied in pumps, valves, and processing equipment requiring clean, consistent operation.

Shapes Offered


ThorPlas-White

FDA-compliant and engineered for hygienic environments, ThorPlas-White delivers a smooth motion and long wear life. It performs reliably in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical systems with frequent use and strict sanitation requirements.

Shapes Offered


PT80

PT80 is a rugged elastomer that withstands heavy loads, temperature swings, and chemical exposure. It's a proven option for demanding bearing systems in industrial and marine sectors where durability is required.
