Family of cast nylon (PA6) grades, from PA 6 Natural to lubricated, heat-stabilised, low-moisture and ATEX anti-static grades, as stock shapes and components.
Description
Nylacast's cast nylon family covers the base PA6 grade and a range of modified grades for bearing, wear and specialist applications. Maritime and shipbuilding is among the listed industry users.
Key features

- Oilon: oil-lubricated grade launched in 1974; bearing life up to five times natural cast nylon and twenty-five times phosphor bronze
- Nylube: wax-lubricated (1989), coefficient of friction as low as 0.08, temperatures up to 120°C
- Moly: with MoS2, for dynamic bearing applications up to 105ºC
- Glass Filled: higher compressive strength
- Aquanyl 612: PA6/PA12 copolymer with lower moisture uptake
- Nylastat: anti-static, meets ATEX regulations
- HS Blue: heat-stabilised, +15ºC over standard grades
Applications
Supplied as tube (50 mm to 1500 mm diameter), rod (10 mm to 500 mm), plate (8 mm to 120 mm), cut-to-size, custom castings and finished components for bearings, wear parts and handling equipment.
