Belzona 1131 (Bearing Metal) is a 100% solids pastegrade repair system with self-lubricating properties for creating low-friction surfaces subject to intermittent contact and low specific loads.
This fully machinable product can be applied without the need for specialist tools and bonds to virtually any surface including steel, aluminium, copper, fibreglass laminate, stainless steel, glass, concrete and brass.
Belzona 1131 has a unique microporous structure to trap and hold lubricating oil, minimising friction at start up. It also reduces risk of seizure in the event of lubrication starvation.
It does not expand, contract or distort during cure and has excellent electrical insulation properties
