GGB, an industry leader and innovator in tribology and surface engineering technologies, announces the launch of the new PyroSlide™ 1100 high-temperature tribological solution. This new addition to the Metals and Bimetals product range provides improved surface engineering in several extreme temperature applications by withstanding temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius. PyroSlide™ 1100 offers the following characteristics:

• High load capacity and wear resistance
• Low-friction properties
• Corrosion resistance
• High-temperature resistance
• Self-lubricating and maintenance-free

At the forefront of advancing surface engineering technologies, GGB’s new bearing helps to improve performance in applications that have elevated temperatures and/or corrosion risk. These applications include exhaust after-treatments, industrial and domestic ovens, natural gas/petrochemical valves, heavy-duty engines and more.

“When we’re developing new products, our customers are always front of mind,” said Paul Pathikal, Vice President of Strategy and Marketing at GGB. “With more and more applications needing to perform under extreme temperatures, our customers have asked us for surface engineering solutions that can perform in hot environments. We are proud to be offering this new product that will help their continuous efforts to improve safety and reliability."
