What is Nylatron material?

Nylatron® is a tradename for a family of nylon plastics, typically filled with molybdenum disulfide lubricant powder. It is used to cast plastic parts for machines, because of its mechanical properties and wear resistance.

Is Nylatron Food Safe?

(Nylatron® LFG, Nycast Nyloil® FG) are oil-filled, food grade cast nylons. They add FDA compliance for applications where food contact is possible. Food packing and process equipment users can now benefit from the wear resistance, toughness and low coefficient of friction of these nylon materials.

What is the difference between nylon and Nylatron?

Nylatron® MD is a metal detectable grade of nylon offering improved strength and rigidity. With a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion than Nylon 101, Nylatron MD parts maintain better fit and clearances, and have less tendency to seize as bearings.

What is cast nylon?

Cast Nylon is an extremely versatile thermoplastic resin. It can contribute significantly to weight and noise reduction, lubrication savings, and gear life extension and as an engineering material, cast nylon is highly resistant to impact, wear, and vibration. Cast nylon also meets FDA standards.

What color is Nylatron GS?

grey-black
It is the most commonly used grade for gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts. It is grey-black in color.

What is food safe plastic?

“Food grade plastic” is best defined as food safe plastic. The term refers to any plastic suitable for contact with consumable food or drink products. As some acidic foods or liquids can leach chemicals from their containers, it is important that they are stored in appropriate containers.

What is nylon GSM?

Nylatron GSM PA6 contains finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) to enhance its load bearing capabilities while maintaining the impact resistance inherent to nylon. It is the most commonly used grade for gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts. It is grey-black in color.

What is the most common type of nylon?

Type 6
The most common type of Nylon are Cast Nylon (Type 6) and Extruded Nylon (Type 6,6). The largest applications for Nylon are bearings, cams, valve seats, gears and other bearing and wear applications that require quiet operation, wear resistance and low coefficients of friction.

Is nylon The strongest fibre?

Its answer is nylon because it is the first fully synthetic fibre made by using cool air and water it is strong as nylon rope is used for parachutes and rock climbing also a nylon thread is much stronger than a steel wire.

What is Nyloil?

NYLOIL® from Cast Nylons Ltd. is a self-lubricating Nylon bearing material tailored to meet your specific application. A cast nylon with built-in oil lubrication, NYLOIL® provides superior machinability, performance, and durability compared to other plastic and traditional bearing materials.
