Scancot TriboGlide 15

  • Static friction coefficient (dry): 0,12
  • Dynamic coefficient of friction (dry): 0.04

Scancot TriboGlide 15 (formerly L15) is the material series with the lowest friction in dry operation among Scancot-composite materials.

This material is often used in conjunction with Scancot TriboTex 7, which forms the main part of the bearing and provides the mechanical properties. At the same time, it provides Scancot TriboGlide 15 a low friction surface. A coefficient of friction as low as 0.04 can be achieved with good mating surfaces.

Scancot TriboGlide 15 has proven very successful in offshore applications, such as launch systems, tow bolts, winches, cranes, anchor handling and mooring systems.
