Emco Plastics supplies and fabricates Nylatron® material for demanding industrial applications requiring strength, wear resistance, low friction, and long service life. Nylatron Plastic is a family of modified nylon materials commonly used for bearings, bushings, gears, wear pads, rollers, sheaves, guides, and custom machined components.
Nylatron materials are known for high toughness, low coefficient of friction, and excellent wear resistance, making them a strong replacement option for bronze, rubber, metal, and standard nylon in many bearing and wear applications.
Nylatron is often selected when an application needs:
Nylatron is commonly used for:
Nylatron® MC901
Best for: gears, racks, pinions, structural parts, and general bearing applications.
Nylatron MC901 is a blue, heat-stabilized cast nylon grade known for toughness, flexibility, fatigue resistance, and long-term thermal stability. It is commonly used where standard nylon may not provide enough durability in mechanical or wear applications.
Best for: gears, sheaves, sprockets, bearings, bushings, and custom wear parts.
Nylatron GSM is a cast nylon filled with molybdenum disulfide, often called MoS₂. This additive improves load-bearing and wear performance while maintaining the impact resistance of nylon.
Best for: slide pads, thrust washers, trunnion bearings, and low-speed/high-pressure wear applications.
Nylatron GSM Blue combines molybdenum disulfide and oil for improved frictional performance. It is often used where lower friction, reduced stick-slip, and improved bearing performance are required.
Best for: demanding bearing, wear pad, and high-pressure/velocity applications.
Nylatron NSM is a premium self-lubricating cast nylon grade designed for severe wear applications. Solid lubricant additives provide excellent friction behavior, long wear life, and strong pressure-velocity capability.
Best for: extruded nylon parts requiring improved rigidity, wear resistance, and dimensional stability.
Nylatron GS is an extruded nylon 6/6 material filled with molybdenum disulfide. It provides improved strength, rigidity, lower friction, and better dimensional stability compared with unfilled nylon.
Best for: gears, industrial bearings, wear pads, and applications where internal lubrication improves part life.
Nylatron LIG is an internally lubricated nylon grade designed to improve wear performance and reduce friction while maintaining a strong balance of toughness and strength.
Best for: precision wear pads, conveyor components, corner tracks, and applications where smooth motion is critical.
Nylatron 703 XL is an ultra-high-performance bearing-grade PA6 with superior wear resistance, strong load-bearing capability, and near-zero stick-slip. This makes it a strong option for applications where chatter, vibration, or inconsistent motion must be reduced.
Nylatron® MD
Best for: food processing, packaging equipment, and detectable plastic components.
Nylatron MD contains a metal-detectable additive and is designed for food processing and packaging applications where plastic contamination detection is important.
