General Info
SUSTAMID 66 MoS is a Nylon (Polyamide) Type 6/6 that is enhanced with molybdenum disulfide and provides a lower coefficient of friction and improved wear resistance for bearing and wear applications.
Key Properties
- Lower Coefficient of Friction than Unfilled Type 6/6 Nylon
- Good abrasion and wear resistance
- Continuous use temperature of 220°F
- Very easy to fabricate
- Outstanding chemical resistance to alkalies and oxidizing agents
- High strength and stiffness at elevated temperatures
- Light weight (approx. 1/8 vs. bronze)
- Good impact strength at low temperature
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
- Bushings & Bearings
- Gears
- Sheaves
- Sprockets
- Thrust Washers
- Timing Screws
- Wear Pads

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.
