Viva Nylons Limited Oil Filled Nylon (OFN)
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Viva Nylons Limited Oil Filled Nylon (OFN) is PA 6C + blended liquid lubricant. It is a complex blended oil lubrication system, uniformly distributed throughout the product guarantees constant performance over the whole service life of this exceptional oil loaded nylon. Excellent sliding frictional properties, abrasion resistance and stick/slip performance make this product the first choice for unlubricated moving parts.
