Vespel® SP-22 has 40% graphite by weight for enhanced wear resistance, lower friction, improved dimensional stability (low coefficient of thermal expansion), and stability against oxidation. Typical uses are bearings, thrust washers, bushings, seal rings, slide blocks, and other wear applications. Vespel® SP-22 is great for projects with tight tolerances.
