Abstract

A material for a low-maintenance sliding surface bearing comprises a metallic backing and on said backing a bearing layer comprising PVDF and an additive for improving the friction and sliding properties. To meet more stringent requirements regarding hygiene, the bearing layer is free of lead and contains 0.5 to 3% by weight of a non-toxic metal oxide power and 10 to 40% by weight of glass microspheres.
