Nylon, one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics, is an extremely versatile engineering plastic. An excellent combination of mechanical performance (toughness, low coefficient of friction, and good abrasion resistance) and cost make Nylon an ideal replacement for a wide variety of materials from metal to rubber.

MoS2 Filled Nylon is a cast nylon material in which finely divided particles molybdenum disulfide are evenly dispersed throughout the nylon material during polymerization. Molybdenum disulfide particles act as a dry lubricant; thus the addition during polymerization enhances nylon’s already load bearing and wear capabilities while maintaining its impact strength and toughness. With a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion than nylon 6/6, Moly-filled nylon provides a degree of self-lubrication suited to applications where external lubrication is impractical, contaminating, or difficult to maintain leading to an improvement in wear. This, combined with lower water absorption extends the range of applications that MoSfilled nylon has over regular cast nylon 6.

Features:

  • Increased superficial hardness provides excellent machineability
  • Temperature: -40°C up to +105°C.
  • Improvement in wear properties as a result of dry lubricant
  • Improved anti-friction properties
  • Improved mechanical properties
  • Elevated operating temperatures
  • Lower water absorption
  • Improved dimensional stability
  • Excellent chemical resistance properties
  • Good PV and load-bearing capabilities
  • Extended range of applications

Applications:

  • Sheaves
  • Wear pads
  • Rollers
  • Bearings
  • Spacers
  • Bush
  • Slide pads
  • Chain Wheel
  • Chain sheaves
  • Hose Clamp
