Oil Filled Nylon 6

Oil Filled Nylon

Oil filled nylon offers the following benefits over standard nylon:

• Reduced coefficient of friction (up to 50%).
• Increased wear resistance (up to x10).

Temperature: -40°C to +100°C, +160°C short term.

Applications: Ideal for unlubricated, highly loaded and slow moving parts.
