Materials SYNTHETIC MATERIALS Material design, and verification of properties and performance, is at the very core of what we do. Norden's material portfolio consist of two main types of synthetic materials. Our composites have high load carrying capability and excellent friction properties. Our elastomeric materials have very good shock absorption properties and abrasive resistance. Our wide range of materials enable us to give objective performance based advice to our customers. Please refer to the information below regarding our various material grades and applications. For further information and discussions regarding your particulate needs, please do get in touch with us Composite materials Norden's composite materials can trace its roots to British Steels development for steel mills in the 1950's. Since then the material has evolved, and been utilized in thousands of applications. Norden Maritime has further developed and enhanced this vertatile material, and Norden composites are now among the worlds leading materials with regards to low friction performance. Elastomeric materials Norden elastomeric materials offer an alternative to our composite materials. Norden elastomeric materials can be recognized by its material name starting with CM. These materials exhibits their strengths with regards to shock absorption capability and wear resistance in abrasive environments, and have been specially designed for applications with varying amount abrasive particles.
