NYLATRONŽ Products
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 has a consistent history of replacing other materials including: metal, brass, bronze, aluminum and rubber. In replacing metal gears in machinery, nylon can be advantageous because of its ability to reduce noise, use less lubrication and increase gear life. Nylon can also be fabricated on most mills with high precision. NylatronŽ is a registered trade name of Quadrant EPP. The NylatronŽ product line features a variety of materials designed to excel in specific applications. Please read below on each specific NylatronŽ product for more information. NYLATRONŽ Features
NYLATRONŽ GS (Extruded): NylatronŽ GS (extruded nylon) is a molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) filled nylon offering improved strength and rigidity. With a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion than Nylon 101, Nylatron GS parts maintain better fit and clearances, and have less tendency to seize as bearings.

See also NYLON MD page (Click Here) NYLATRONŽ GSM (Extruded): NylatronŽ GSM (cast nylon) contains finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) to enhance its load bearing capabilities while maintaining the impact resistance inherent to nylon. It is the most commonly used grade for gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts. It is grey-black in color. NYLATRONŽ GSM Tech Data.pdf (Click Here) NYLATRONŽ GSM MSDS.pdf (Click Here) Rod / Round:
See also NYLON MD page (Click Here) NYLATRONŽ GSM BLUE: NylatronŽ GSM Blue is the first cast nylon to combine both molybdenum disulphide (MoS) and oil for the load capacity of Nylatron GSM nylon, plus improved frictional characteristics. It excels in higher pressures, and at low speeds-up to 40 fpm. It offers 20% lower coefficient of friction, 50% greater limiting PV, and lower k factor than Nylatron GSM, and the lowest "slip-stick" of any nylon product making it ideal for slide pads, thrust washers and trunion bearings. Nylatron GSM Blue should be considered for any oil-filled nylon application. It is dark blue in color.

NYLATRONŽ LIG (Oil-filled): NylatronŽ LIG combines the toughness of cast PA6 with an oil-based lubricant that is encapsulated within the nylon matrix. It increases the load bearing performance of the material when compared to unfilled nylons and reduces the coefficient of friction. It is an ideal material for industrial application.
