Nylatron 703XL is a high-performance cast nylon material supplied by Dotmar as part of the Orkot TLM Marine (TLMM) product line. It is an engineering thermoset plastic formulated to deliver reliable, low-friction performance in wet and dry operating conditions.

This grade offers a balanced combination of mechanical strength and dimensional stability, with a tensile strength of 60 MPa and a low coefficient of friction of 0.2. Its medium chemical resistance and operational temperature range from -30°C to 90°C make it a practical choice for components exposed to harsh environments.

Choosing Nylatron 703XL from Dotmar ensures access to a proven material available in rod, sheet, and cylinder formats, backed by expert machining and fabrication support for custom component manufacture.

Key Features

  • Tensile strength of 60 MPa
  • Low coefficient of friction at 0.2
  • Operational temperature range from -30°C to 90°C
  • Medium chemical resistance
  • Thermal expansion coefficient between 90 and 100 x 10^-6 /K
  • Available in rod, sheet, and cylinder formats

Nylatron 703XL is typically specified for marine bearing applications, including rudder and stern tube bearings, where low friction and good wear resistance under load are essential. It is also used in general industrial equipment for wear pads, bushings, and guide rails operating in wet or lubricated environments.
