Hydlar ZF is Kevlar fiber reinforced Nylon 6/6. With the addition of Kevlar, Hydlar ZF's properties improve, better dimensional stability is achieved and wear resistance is increased ten times that of unfilled nylon.

Hydlar ZF can be machined by conventional methods using the same standard tools used to machine unfilled Nylon 6/6. When compared to nylons which have been filled with glass to achieve similar strength and temperature resistance, Hydlar ZF is far less abrasive and easier to machine. Because of its lower water absorption and stability, close tolerances can be machined with this product without fear of dimensional change after machining.


Typical Properties:

  • Superior wear resistance
  • Outstanding machinability
  • High PV limit
  • Virtually no abrasion to outer surfaces

Applications:

  • Bushings (in water)
  • Compressor vanes
  • High temperature applications
  • Very high wear resistance
  • Very high PV value
