## Products

- [Polyimide bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/polyimide-bushings/): Polyimide bushings are precision-machined polymer bearings for applications where conventional plastics and metals struggle with temperature, friction, wear, weight, or dimensional stability. Dominion manufactures them in graphite-filled and unfilled grades from your drawing.
- [Polyimide washers](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/polyimide-washers/): Polyimide washers carry axial load, take wear, space parts, or insulate at temperatures where many polymers lose shape. Dominion machines thrust, shoulder, spacer, and custom washers in graphite-filled and unfilled polyimide.
- [Graphite-filled polyimide bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/graphite-filled-polyimide-bushings/): Graphite-filled polyimide bushings are self-lubricating wear components for dry or lightly lubricated duty. The graphite filler improves tribology so the bushing can run with less external oil while holding shape at high temperature.
- [Graphite-filled polyimide washers](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/graphite-filled-polyimide-washers/): Graphite-filled polyimide washers are self-lubricating thrust and wear faces for axial loads. They are specified when a metal washer would need oil the assembly cannot provide, or when weight and temperature both matter.
- [Unfilled polyimide bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/unfilled-polyimide-bushings/): Unfilled polyimide bushings combine electrical insulation with high-temperature strength and dimensional stability. Specify them when the bushing must isolate current as well as locate a shaft or pin.
- [Polyimide thrust washers](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/polyimide-thrust-washers/): A polyimide thrust washer is a thin axial bearing. It takes load along the shaft axis, controls friction, and holds thickness at temperatures that flatten many plastics. Graphite-filled grades are typical for dry running.
- [High-temperature bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/high-temperature-bushings/): High-temperature bushings are specified when the joint stays hot enough to soften common plastics. Dominion machines polyimide grades for polymer-range heat and aerospace alloys when the duty exceeds that range.
- [High-temperature washers](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/high-temperature-washers/): High-temperature washers keep thickness and a wear face when the assembly is hot. Polyimide covers many polymer-range duties. Metal is used when strength or temperature exceeds that band.
- [Aerospace bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/aerospace-bushings/): Aerospace bushings are small parts under a large stack of demands: temperature, load, vibration, friction, wear, tight tolerance, and limited lubrication. Dominion machines polyimide and metal bushings to those drawings.
- [Aerospace washers](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/aerospace-washers/): Aerospace washers take axial load or wear in assemblies that cannot accept a generic hardware washer. Dominion machines them in polyimide and aerospace alloys to the drawing, including insulating and spacer geometries.
- [Aerospace metal bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/aerospace-metal-bushings/): Aerospace metal bushings are used when the joint needs metal strength, hardness, or temperature capability. Dominion machines plain, flanged, grooved, thin-wall, and custom alloy bushings from the customer drawing.
- [Aerospace thrust washers](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/aerospace-thrust-washers/): Aerospace thrust washers carry axial load in rotating or oscillating joints. Dominion machines them in graphite-filled polyimide, unfilled polyimide, or aerospace alloys depending on lubrication, temperature, and load.
- [Aircraft engine bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/aircraft-engine-bushings/): Aircraft engine bushings are wear components inside or around the engine. High-performance polyimides are documented for variable vane systems, bearings, and wear pads. Dominion machines those parts — and metal alternatives — to your specification.
- [Jet engine components](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/jet-engine-components/): Dominion supplies jet-engine wear components: bushings, thrust washers, wear washers, spacers, bearings, wear pads, insulating parts, and custom geometries. Material is chosen for friction, wear, weight, and heat — not for a catalog aesthetic.
- [Turbine bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/turbine-bushings/): Turbine bushings see heat, vibration, and often limited lubrication. Dominion machines polyimide and metal bushings for aircraft turbines, industrial gas turbines, compressors, and related rotating equipment.
- [Self-lubricating bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/self-lubricating-bushings/): Self-lubricating bushings carry a solid lubricant in the material so the joint can run with little or no oil. Dominion’s graphite-filled polyimide bushings are made for that duty when temperature and wear also matter.
- [Vespel® alternative & equivalent polyimide materials](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/vespel-alternative/): Looking for a Vespel® alternative? Dominion Advanced Materials offers high-performance polyimide alternatives corresponding to commonly specified SP, SCP, and SMP material grades. Send us your existing specification or drawing and we will help identify the appropriate Dominion material.
- [Custom bushings](https://dominionadvancedmaterials.com/custom-bushings/): Custom bushings are made to your drawing, not pulled from a catalog. Dominion machines plain, flanged, split, stepped, grooved, and thin-wall bushings in polyimide and aerospace-grade metals from prototype through production.
