Nylacast Nylanite

Nylanite is a self-lubricating, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester that blends the dimensional stability of PET with the wear resistance of nylon. It suits heavily loaded mechanical precision components in abrasive environments.

Key features

• High mechanical strength, hardness and rigidity
• Good creep resistance
• Low thermal expansion and low moisture absorption
• Self-lubricating
• Available as components, rod, plate, tube and cut-to-size; also extruded at Nylacast South Africa

Applications

Wear rings, split bearings, washers and bushes. Industry users include maritime and shipbuilding, construction, railways, pneumatics and pumps.
