Redwood Plastics and Rubber products

Durable polymer alloys capable of performing better than brass, bronze or babbitt!

Plastic Clearance/Tolerance is subject to many variables (i.e. Moisture, Cold Heat) when being machined for specific applications. If lubrication is supplied to a plastic bearing, the load and life are greatly increased dependent on the type and volume of lubricant.

Redco™ hanger bearings are available in various grades of Redco™ UHMW, Redco™ Nylon, Redco™ PTFE and Redco™ Polyurethane.

Redco™ UHMW Channel (U-Channel) reduces chain or belt wear by reducing friction. Unlike metal-to-metal contact, because of UHMW’s very low coefficient of friction and self-lubricating properties, metal chain glides along the plastic channel with extremely reduced abrasion. Replacing steel channel with plastic channel also reduces power consumption and saves premature replacement costs of both the chain and equipment. Fight friction and reduce costs with long-wearing Redco™ UHMW Belt and Chain Channel. Redwood Plastics carries many standard profiles in-stock with custom extrusions available.
