    Abrasion-resistant Graphlon GM 860 is a tough polymer/graphite-based material used to manufacture pump bushings and critical wear parts

    The abrasion-resistant Graphlon GM 860 is a tough polymer/graphite-based material used to manufacture pump bushings and critical wear parts. Developed specifically for sump pumps and riverwater service pumps, it also handles the limited run-dry requirement of these applications. The bronzes and plastics traditionally used in pumps are prone to damage from highly abrasive suspensions and do not handle run-dry situations well.
