WS Hampshire Inc. has introduced Ryertex S/T, a high-performance phenolic material for bearings, bushings and other wear parts for a range of the most demanding industrial applications, including but not limited to steel and aluminum manufacturing, paper manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, rail, off-road/construction and agricultural equipment.

In these demanding applications—and even in the harshest environments—Ryertex S/T can increase part performance life 5 to 7 times, reducing costly downtime needed for replacing worn parts. It can not only replace other traditional phenolics, but also metallics such as brass and bronze, and it takes proven phenolic performance to a much higher level. Drawing on its experience with non-metallic materials, WS Hampshire developed this new super-tough material specifically for use in demanding applications.

Henkel has introduced a two-part, sprayable ceramic coating designed to protect metal surfaces on industrial equipment from wear, abrasion and corrosion. Loctite Nordbak 7255 sprayable ceramic coating is sprayed onto metal components to create smooth, low-friction surfaces that improve equipment efficiency. It is ideal for use on tank linings, mixing vessels, pump housings, impellers, chutes, troughs and centrifuge components. The solvent-free, thixotropic formulation can be used in overhead applications, and adheres very well to a range of metal surfaces.
