Nylacast Nylube

Nylacast Nylube contains a combined liquid/solid lubricant system which allows for a coefficient of friction as low as 0.08. This is below that of almost any other polymer available at present. Nylube has substantially improved the wear resistance abilities compared to that of any other currently available lubricated grade of cast nylon, whilst retaining excellent physical property characteristics.

World Leader for over 30 Years

Nylube was introduced into the market in 1989 as a logical progression to Nylacast Oilon. Since that time, it has proved to be a supreme wear-resisting grade and one of the most important developments within PA6 materials technology.

Excellent Coefficient of Friction

Nylube contains a combined liquid/solid lubricant system which allows for a coefficient of friction as low as 0.08. A figure which is below that of almost any other polymer available at present. Nylube has substantially improved the wear resistance abilities compared to that of any other currently available lubricated grade of cast nylon, whilst retaining excellent physical property characteristics

FDA Compliant

Much like Nylacats Oilon, Nylacast Nylube is suitable for use in applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a result of the premium FDA compliant lubricate throughout the material.

Other Materials

PA6/12

Our Nylon 6 & Nylon 6 co-polymer, offering excellent dimensional stability and reduced moisture absorption

POM-C (Acetal)

POM-C otherwise known as Acetal Copolymer features highly crystalline resins, making this material strong and rigid, with a low coefficient of friction in comparison to metals and other plastics. POM-C is also creep resistant and is recommended for applications where dimensional stability is important.

Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP) features excellent chemical and acid resistance properties in addition to high impact strength.

Nylacast Oilon

The leading Oil Filled Nylon for over 40 years.

PA6 Flame Retardant (FR)

Our PA6 FR grade is phosphorus and halogen-free, featuring an excellent LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) assisting to prevent or inhibit the outbreak of fire.

Nylacast Aquanyl

Our premium PA612 for unrivalled dimensional stability & moisture absorption. Available through our partnership with Nylacast.
