Ryertex® CG - Canvas/Graphite is a medium weave cotton fabric (Ryertex® C) combined with a phenolic resin system containing carbon graphite as a solid lubricant.

This phenolic laminate is used where a low coefficient of friction is the primary need allowing for improved wear life of the parts. Graphite is impregnated into the construction of the material and acts as a lubricant. It transfers to the metal surface providing lubrication on both surfaces. Ryertex® CG composite laminate can be run with or without additional lubrication.

Ryertex® CG thermoset is used in medium to heavy industrial applications for bearings, bushings and wear parts where a low coefficient of friction is needed.
