SKS SLIDING BEARINGS
FEATURES	BENEFITS
PTFE-to-PTFE faces	Low coefficient of friction between sliding faces.
Lubrication	Silicone grease further reduces frictional resistance.
Elastomeric pads	Provision for some rotational movement & for small surface irregularities.
Nylon re-inforcement	Woven nylon scrim increases load capacity (up to 2000 kN point loads).
Chemical bonding	The PTFE, scrim and rubber are polymerically bonded under heat and pressure.
Expanded polystyrene  surround	Facilitates in-situ pouring of superstructure concrete & locates each pad in position.
Waterproof top layer	Prevents grout or wet concrete from penetrating between the core and the expanded polystyrene.
Supplied ready to lay	SKS pads or strips require no additional preparation on site before laying.
