'Outlives any of the alternatives available.' - Vesconite

‘Outlives any of the alternatives available.’

17 Oct 2017

“We used Vesconite Hilube on a sail boat rudder, submerged in salt water. Acetal was used previously, but Vesconite does not absorb water and does not expand. With the benefit of self-lubrication, Vesconite is the best possible material for rudder bearings, and outlives any of the alternatives available.”
