Proven Performance
in every extreme.
Fritex composites are globally trusted in critical systems where failure is not an option. From the ocean floor to Mars orbit, our materials replace traditional lubrication with zero-maintenance reliability.
Hydropower
Wicket gate bushings and turbine main shaft bearings operating submerged for 50+ years.
Marine
Saltwater resistant. Zero swelling. High load capacity for rudder systems.
Mining
Pivot points for excavators and crushers exposed to abrasive dust.
Aerospace
Valves and actuators operating at -196°C in liquid oxygen.
Infrastructure
Bridge expansion bearings and structural dampeners. Zero maintenance required.

Eliminating Grease.
Protecting Water.
Traditional bronze bushings required tons of grease annually, much of which ended up in the Columbia River. Fritex **FW-Series** composites replaced these legacy bearings, operating completely dry or water-lubricated.
The result was total elimination of lubricant pollution and an extension of maintenance intervals from 5 years to over 25 years.
