In addition to bearing applications,
the KAron system has other valuable uses including:

Salvaging Components:
The ability to apply the machinable KAron liner material in varying thicknesses provides a method of salvaging components with oversized bores, undersized pins or shafts, etc. KAron does not unravel or peel, and can be machined to close tolerances.

Fretting Barrier:
KAron can be used as a barrier to prevent fretting or metal wear between expensive components. It can be used "as applied," without subsequent machining.

Corrosion Protection:
KAron has demonstrated excellent protection against corrosion, has a high fluid resistance, and has a high tolerance to contamination and hostile environments.
