NYLON MD (Nylon MoS2)
Nylon is one of the most widely used and versatile thermoplastic resins. Its
combination of physical properties and reasonable price make it a favorite choice
for numerous applications. Nylons toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength and
lubricity make it a good choice for many mechanical machine parts.
Nylon MD is a nylon and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) composition designed to improve
the mechanical, thermal and bearing properties to type 6/6 nylon while maintaining
its basic electrical and chemical characteristics.
Through compounding, finely divided particles impart extra lubricity to this nylon,
permitting Nylon MD parts to operate with little or no lubrication. This makes it
especially suited to applications where external lubrication is impractical,
contaminating or difficult to maintain. The added lubricity also contributes dramatically
to component service life, making Nylon MD a very cost-efficient choice.
Nylon MD provides non-galling and non-scratching characteristics, sound dampening
qualities, insulating properties, resistance to oils, greases, most alkalies, solvents,
and organic acids

NYMETAL AVAILABILITY:
Every NYCAST formulation currently offered can be manufactured as a NYMETAL billet.
Please review the property information listed in this brochure for correct material
selection.
Standard core materials include 1117 and 4140 steel and 303, 304, and 316 stainless
steel. Metal core outside diameters are available in sizes from 1-1/2" to 6" and nylon
outside diameters are available in sizes from 3" to 12". All billets are available in
standard 24" lengths. Refer to the chart below for standard size combinations.
Is the size combination and/or metal core material you're looking for not included on
the chart? Don't worry, just call our Alro Plastics inside sales representative for a
quote. See the Custom Components section for more details.
Engineering note:
Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water.
This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical
properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
