General Info

TECAST® T MO cast nylon, molybdenum sulfide filled offers a combination of good mechanical properties, excellent bearing and wear characteristics, and the large-size capabilities of the casting process. The addition of particles of molybdenum disulfide enhances the surface lubricity and wear resistance over unfilled nylon. In applications requiring high lubricity, this material may be a good candidate.

Key Properties

1/8 the weight of Bronze
Enhanced Lubricity of standard Type 6 Nylon
Good Wear Resistance
High Strength
Large Size Availability

Limitations

High Moisture Absorption
Poor Chemical Resistance to Strong Acids and Bases

Applications

Bearing & Wear Parts for a Wide Range Automated Equipment
Bushings & Bearings
Conveyor Wear Components
Gears
Housings
Pulleys
Sheaves
Valve Seats & Seals
Wear Pads

TECAST® T MO

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.
