Nylatron® SLG PA6
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Nylatron® SLG Polyamide PA6 oil-filled shapes are the perfect solution for industrial applications that require low coefficient of friction, high mechanical strength and rigidity, and outstanding wear resistance. Developed specifically for non-lubricated, highly loaded, and slowly moving parts, these shapes offer a number of benefits over conventional cast nylon grades.Features:Broadest size range availabilityExcellent wear resistanceGood mechanical and electrical propertiesIdeal balance of strength and toughnessInternally lubricated and heat stabilizedBenefits:Low coefficient of friction and sliding propertiesHigh mechanical strength and rigidityOutstanding wear resistanceLonger service life and lower maintenance costs compared to conventional cast nylon gradesApplications:Ideal for use in industrial environmentsSuitable for non-lubricated, highly loaded, and slowly moving parts such as gears, bearings, bushings, and wear pads.
