Key Properties

Low cost compared to other premium Nylon wear grades
Improved wear, lower friction, and higher limiting PV than standard Nylon
Reduces chatter and slip stick
Longer wear life than standard Nylon

Limitations

High Moisture Absorption
Limited Resistance to Strong Acids & Alkalies Note - Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.

Applications

Bearing and Wear Parts for a Wide Range Automated Equipment
Construction Equipment Wear Pads
Crane Wear Pads
Telescopic Crane Boom Wear Pads
Ag and Farm Equipment Wear Pads

Manufacturer Trade Names

Nylatron ® WP PA6

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
