Abstract
A brush seal element is disclosed that includes an array of bristles and a backing member. The array of bristles extends across the face of the backing member and at least part of the surface of the face of the backing member is formed of or covered by a material which is tribologically matched, with at least the material of the bristles immediately adjacent the face. This allows the bristles to move on the material without inappropriate wear.
