What's Graphite Plug?
Graphite is a type of carbon with very good performance of lubricant.It can be machined as different dimater based on requirement and plug into bronze or steel bushing to make them with better performance of self lubricating. Those bushes which is plugged with graphite also called self lubricating bushing, 500 oiles bearing, bronze graphite bearing or sliding bearing
What's SL4 Plug?
SL4 plug is special designed solid lubricant plug for underwater or marine application.When bronze bushing will be used for underwater or water contact situation, sea port equipment and etc, we need to plug SL4 as lubricant because stanadard graphite doesn't work for those situations.

Cost Comparison
Graphite is very low cost lubricant, when we check oiles bearing with graphite cost, we even can ignore the cost of graphite
SL4 plug is made of high percentage PTFE, carbon and other lubricant. It have very high cost compared with graphite. Considering the same diameter graphite and SL4, the cost of SL4 plug will be about 10-15 times of graphite
Application
Oiles Bearing with Graphite
Oiles Bush with graphite is standard used self lubricating bushing.It was very good choice for common use in air condition. When bronze graphite bearing works, graphite powder will come out to lubricating housing and shaft, reduce friction and makes oiles bush work as self lubricating type. This type of oiles bearing was always used for all kinds of machines, contrustion equipment,heavy duty industry and etc
Oiles Bush with SL4
As SL4 plug with very good anti-corrosion property, it have very good performance if the oiles bush will be used underwater or water contacted parts.So it have widely used for sluice gate,waterjet,turbine,Port lifting equipment,oil drill equipment and etc
