Marine bearings Based on more than 25 year’s experience in the FPSO market, demanding applications in corrosive and intensive offshore environments benefit from 3P’s range of Xytrex® materials. This includes the proprietary Xytrex® 456, or X456, the successfull polymeric material with probably the best lasting reliability in marine applications. The acclaimed X456 is selected for its high mechanical reliability and its long-lasting record: X456 parts are designed for an unfailing use lasting 25 to 40 years ! Preferred for high performance bearings and washers, X456 is a must-have solution when looking for tribological properties and long term mechanical properties. The compound is based on high performance polymers selected for their great ductility and resistance. It is recommended for stationary wear components in marine environment. With an increased absorption of vibration, it also improves the total equipment’s lifetime. High quality is ensured with up to 100% tested parts (on demand). Tests are based on thin IQI X-rays and/or dye penetrant inspections.
