PermaWick
The Definitive Reservoir Wicking Material
Permawick
is a wicking lubricant that can be machine injected into any size or shape of bearing reservoir. Permawick material permanently lubricates sleeve bearing systems. There is no need to re-oil Permawick. Permawick is a blend of engineered fibers and formulated oil that bonds to form a unique oil delivery system.
Why Permawick?
Permawick fibers absorb oil and trap oil, forming a physical/chemical bond between fiber and oil. The result is dramatic - Permawick is 85% oil by weight, 99% oil by volume! It is virtually like filling your bearing reservoir with liquid oil.

The fiber-oil bond has another important feature, the ability to set and control the release rate of oil. By careful selection and processing of fiber, the Permawick material is blended to a uniform rate of release, depending on the means of feeding oil to the journal. NP fiber is used to lubricate sintered bearings, HH and FHH fiber lubricates felt contactors in sleeve bearings.
