General Info
SUSTAMID 6G HS Blue is produced with a heat stabilizer that increases the continuous operating temperature to 230/ F.
Key Properties
- Excellent sliding properties
- Heat Stabilized Grade Offers Higher Continuous use temperature of 230° F
- Good abrasion resistance
- High mechanical and impact strength
- Highly resistant to hydrocarbons, alkalis and oils
- Excellent machinability
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.
