Overview
Omnialite XLF is a high-performance bushing and bearing grade material specifically developed for applications requiring dimensional stability, long service life and low maintenance. Engineered with internal lubricants, this material reduces friction and enhances wear resistance without the need for external lubrication. It is ideal for wet, dirty or submerged environments where traditional materials may fail. Omnialite XLF maintains its performance even under high pressure and velocity conditions, making it an excellent choice for dynamic mechanical parts.
Key Features
