The INDRON® TSTN marine rudder bushing is a wear-resistant,
self-lubricating solution designed to replace Thordon SXL in ship
rudder systems. Made from our advanced TSTN material, it offers low
friction, dry-start capability, and a longer service life, making
it ideal for vessels needing a grease-free, high-performance rudder
bearing.
