Marzin Industries Ltd. was established in 1971, and since then has been manufacturing TEFLON OR STAINLESS STEEL SLIDE BEARING PLATES for various appplications in the OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY. Due to its low coefficient of friction teflon or stainless steel slide bearing plates will accommodate expansions and other motions for any structure or component that moves as a result of thermal expansion, seismic, or differential forces. Thus reducing the size and costs of concrete foundations or structural steel supports. The principle of teflon stainless steel slide bearing is simple. Two teflon pads, bonded to steel plates, slide one against the other. Normally, the assembly is designed so that the top plate is stainless steel,and is larger than the bottom by the anticipated motion, thus ensuring the bearing area remains constant through the cycle of motion. The teflon and stainless steel sliding surface is noted for its outstanding chemical resistance, excellent dielectric properties, high and low temperature resistance, and excellent lubricity. These special properties are highly desirable for applications under vessel saddles, pipe shoes, etc. Marzin Industries LTD. manufactures teflon plates exclusively and therefore is able to provide expedient delivery, normally ten days, for standard plate assemblies.
