DuPont™ Vespel® parts & shapes

With high temperature resistance, high oxidation resistance, and enough strength to eliminate the need for metal, CP-8000, 8001 and 8002 are ideal for bushings in gas turbine engine compressors, balls for self-aligning spherical bearing assemblies and more. That extraordinary strength comes from fiber-reinforced polymer matrices – braided into a tube or rope for maximum toughness.

Fiber-reinforced polymer matrices braided into a tube or cord for:

  • Bushings for gas turbine engine compressors
  • Balls for self-aligning spherical bearing assemblies

Benefits

  • Self-lubricating
  • Ideal for high-temperature, high-friction, highly-oxidative environments
  • Tough and strong enough to eliminate need for metal
