A cast nylon with built-in oil lubrication, oil-filled nylon provides superior machinability, performance, and durability compared to other
plastic and traditional bearing materials.
It also weighs 1/7 the weight of Bronze.
During the manufacturing process, an oil lubricant package is completely dispersed within the cast nylon matrix, making it an integral part
of the casting's structure. Although not evident by sight or touch, the oil lubricant in the nylon is always at the surface regardless of the
amount of material removed during finish machining or normal wear.
Known more commonly under the trade name Nyloil® (Cast Nylons LTD) or Nylatron® LIG (Quadrant EPP), oil-filled nylon is well known for its
green color.
