Nylatron™ GSM PA6 shapes contain finely divided particles of Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS₂) to enhance their load-bearing capabilities while maintaining the impact resistance inherent to cast nylon products. This grade in particular possesses an ideal combination of strength and toughness, while also exhibiting excellent mechanical and electrical properties. This powerful combination of characteristics makes Nylatron™ GSM PA6 an ideal material for use in gears, bearings, sprockets and sheaves throughout the construction and heavy equipment markets.
