Product Description
XP-91 is a hybrid material. It provides many of the benefits of Elastamide, with enhanced surface lubricity, improved performance under load, and improved heat tolerance. XP-91 can be molded into a finished part or easily machined from a rough casting. Present applications include suspension components for railcar truck assemblies, various friction pads and high-load, high-wear applications.
