NYLATRON®
Nylatron
is a tradename for a family of high performance nylon products made by
Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products, Inc., including:
- Nylatron GS Nylon
- Nylatron GSM Nylon
- Nylatron GSM Blue Nylon
- Nylatron NSM Nylon
Quadramt also produces Nylon 101, MC 901, MC 907 NylasteelTM, and 30% Glass-Filled Nylon. The following charts define and compare the different grades available:
| Small/Screw
Machine Nylon Parts (Extruded Type 6/6) |
Larger
or Near Net Nylon Shapes (Cast Type 6 Nylons) |
|
| For general purpose wear and structural parts. (FDA grades available) | Polypenco®
Nylon 101 Of all the unmodified nylons, Polypenco® Nylon 101 is the strongest, most rigid and has one of the highest melting points. It is commonly specified for screw machined electrical insulators and food contact parts. It is stocked in both natural and black. Other colors are available on a custom basis. Polypenco Nylon 101 natural is FDA, USDA, NSF, and 3A-Dairy compliant. |
MC®
901 Nylon Heat stabilized nylon offering long-term thermal stability to 260ºF. It is blue in color and used in a variety of bearing and structural applications such as wheels, gears, and custom parts. MC®
907 Nylon |
| For improved load bearing capability | Nylatron®
GS Nylon 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. |
Nylatron®
GSM Nylon Nylatron GSM 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. |
| For best wear resistance and lowest coefficient of friction | . | Nylatron®
NSM Nylon Best bearing and wear nylon product available today. Proprietary type 6 nylon formulation produced using Quadrant's Monocast® process. Solid lubricant additives impart self-lubricating, high pressure/velocity and superior wear resistance characteristics. Nylatron NSM was developed specifically for demanding applications where larger size parts are required. It is ideal for bearings, gears and wear pads. In wear applications, Nylatron NSM lasts up to 10 times longer than standard Type 6 nylon. |
| For improved load capacity or For improved frictional characteristics | 30%
Glass-reinforced Nylon 6/6 For applications requiring higher compressive strength and rigidity, 30% glass reinforced Nylon 6/6 is also available. It is stocked in diameters ranging from 10mm to 150mm (or .394" to 5.910" in meter lengths). |
Nylatron®
GSM Blue Nylon (Oil-filled) The first cast nylon to combine both molybdenum disulphid (MoS²) 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 a 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. |
