Metcar Grade M-58 self-lubricating, carbon-graphite material for food contact applications

Monday, 10 December, 2012


Metallized Carbon Corporation has announced that its Metcar Grade M-58, an oil-free, self-lubricating, carbon-graphite material, has received approval from the FDA for use in food contact applications. The M-58 is suitable for use in dry running food mixer seals and is claimed to provide lower seal friction and longer seal wear life.

Metcar Grade M-58 is an electro-graphite-based material that contains an additive to reduce friction and improve the dry running wear rate. Available fully machined to the customer’s drawing specifications, Metcar Grade M-58 primary seal rings can be used in temperatures between -34 and 246°C.

The material is also suitable for use in other machine part applications where an FDA-approved, self-lubricating material with low friction and long wear life is required.
