Main characteristics of cast Nylons :

- high mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
- good fatigue resistance
- high mechanical damping ability
- good sliding properties
- excellent wear resistance
- good electrical insulating properties
- good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma and X-rays)
- good machinability


NYLON 6PLA
- Unmodified cast nylon 6 grade exhibiting characteristics which come very close to those of Nylon 66SA. It combines high strength, stiffness and hardness with good creep and wear resistance, heat aging properties and machinability.

NYLON 6XAU+
- is a heat stabilised cast nylon grade with a very dense and highly crystalline structure. It offers superior heat aging performance in air allowing higher continuously allowable service temperatures. It is particularly recommended for bearings and other mechanical parts subject to wear which are operating in air for long periods of time at temperatures over 60 deg C.

NYLON LFX
- This internally lubricated nylon 6 is self lubricating in the real meaning of the word. It was especially developed for unlubricated, highly loaded and slowly moving parts applications, yields a considerable enlargement of the application possibilities of nylons. This is due to a reduced coefficient of friction and much improved wear resistance.

NYLATRON MC901
- This modified cast nylon 6 grade with it's distinctive blue colour exhibits higher toughness, flexibility and fatigue resistance. It has proved to be an excellent material for gear wheels, racks and pinions.

NYLATRON GSM
- The addition of MoS2 enhances its bearing and wear behaviour without impairing the fatigue and impact resistance. It is often used for gears, bear

NYLATRON NSM
- Contains solid lubricant additives which grant this material self-lubricity, excellent frictional properties, superior wear resistance and outstanding Pressure-Velocity capabilities. Is particularly suitable for unlubricated moving parts applications with higher velocity than LFX.
