First introduced by Babbitt over a century ago white metal has evolved into the complex anti friction materials we use today. Babbitts original reason for developing white metal (or Babbitt alloy) was to produce a bearing material that would protect the crankshaft from the wear caused by abrasive particles carried around in the oil. Because white metal is relatively soft, these particles embed below the surface of the bearing thus protecting the crankshaft from their abrasive effect.

Now produced in Germany as part of the Ecka Granules group - Hoyt 11R & 11Z3 tin based white metals still offer the ultimate in purity and consistency for maximum performance and reliability
