Scancot TriboSlide is a newly developed composite material from Scancot, specifically designed for demanding support pads in maritime applications. Developed in collaboration with leading shipping companies and fleet managers, the material is designed to meet the high demands found in container vessels and other ship-related systems. Through extensive testing, TriboSlide has been proven to reduce maintenance while avoiding downtime, providing significant savings for shipping companies and fleet managers worldwide.
Solution to persistent problems
Traditional support pads often suffer from marine fouling, cathodic scaling and bimetallic corrosion. Scancot TriboSlide counteracts these problems, thanks to its superior bearing properties and high load-bearing capacity. The material has also been tested in demanding operating situations, where it delivers stable performance without the ships having to be taken out of operation.
Cost-effective and theft-proof
The price of Scancot TriboSlide is competitive compared to conventional bronze or bronze graphite pads. This allows shipping companies and fleet managers to achieve lower costs for both new builds and repairs. In addition, TriboSlide pads have no resale value, so the risk of theft during loading and unloading is minimal.
Long service life and high load capacity
The wear on Scancot TriboSlide is significantly lower than on bronze or bronze-graphite pads. This increases the service life and reduces the need to inspect or replace the pads. The high load-bearing capacity of the material prevents deformation, even under heavy loads. This saves you further time and money on maintenance.
Flexible design and multiple lubrication options
Scancot TriboSlide can be manufactured in any design and size, as required. It can be used in dry conditions or with grease, seawater or oil lubrication. The material also works against a wide variety of surfaces, such as plain steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, chrome-plated steel and nitrided surfaces. This versatility makes TriboSlide an ideal solution for various segments of the maritime industry.
