Columbia Industrial Products-CIP Composite material is a laminated plastic material made by impregnating fabric with thermosetting resins. The physical and mechanical properties of all grades of CIP make them excellent composite material for many applications. CIP composites offer design engineers an attractive, low cost alternative to the traditional materials used throughout industries for bearings, pads and thrust washers. CIP is only 1 / 6 the weight of steel, easily machined, has good dimensional stability and contains no harmful or toxic materials.
CIP Composite is a non-metallic, high load, high impact, self lubricating, laminate composite material. Our textiles and thermosetting resins are blended with graphite, moly, PTFE and other proprietary lubricants which have become major problem solvers for many different industries and applications. CIP does not contain abrasive fillers like calcium carbonate.
