Literature Available On New Marine Products Made From 'Orkot'

Orkot Engineering Plastics, Carlsbad, Calif., is offering free literature on 'Orkot' bearings, bushings, wear pads and other components ideal for marine use.

'Orkot' is a laminated material made by bonding various fabrics with thermosetting resins. Its mechanical and chemical characteristics may be changed by varying the fabrics and resins to meet specific needs.

Solid lubricants of graphite and molybdenum disulphide are impregnated, giving self-lubricating properties and low coefficients of friction. 'Orkot' is 1/6 the weight of steel and has excellent corrosion resistance. 'Orkot' contains no harmful or toxic products and has exceptional dimensional stability in wet conditions. It is available in rod, tube or sheet form, or can be fully machined to customers' own drawings.
