General Info
NYCAST® NYLOIL FG Blue Food Grade Type 6 Oil-Filled Nylon is a self-lubricating, FDA-compliant material that can be in direct contact with foods. It is a perfect substitute for stainless steel due to its high wear capabilities, low moisture absorption, and good chemical resistance.
The blue color of NYCAST® NYLOIL FG Blue Food Grade Type 6 Oil-Filled Nylon is not just for aesthetics. It aids in visual detection in food and pharmaceutical applications, enhancing food or product safety in applications that utilize vision systems for foreign contaminant detection.
Often copied but never equaled, NYLOIL was the first oil-filled cast nylon produced in North America. It is a cast nylon Type-6 material with a carefully disbursed oil-filled lubricant that creates a high-crystalline, internally homogeneously lubricated, high-strength polymer with enhanced wear and reduced friction properties.
