Nylatron GS is an engineering plastic from the nylon family, specifically a cast polyamide modified with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to significantly improve its sliding and wear properties. This modification results in a material with a low coefficient of friction (0.35) and excellent wear resistance, making it ideal for moving parts in industrial machinery.
Dotmar supplies Nylatron GS in rod form, ready for machining into custom components. With a continuous service temperature range of -20°C to 80°C and a tensile strength of 95 MPa, it offers reliable performance in a variety of mechanical applications where lubrication-free operation is desired.
Key Features
- Incorporated MoS2 filler for superior wear and friction properties
