General Info
SUSTAMID 6G OL 2 is green in color and oil-filled to improve the frictional properties and extend the life of the product.
Key Properties
- Lower Coefficient of Friction & Lubricity with Oil Additive
- Excellent sliding properties
- Continuous use temperature of 200° 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.
Applications
- Bushings & Bearings
- Gears
- Sheaves
- Sprockets
- Thrust Washers
- Timing Screws
- Wear Pads
