Nylatron™ WP PA6 self-lubricated polyamide shapes outperform competing nylon products in wear resistance and load-bearing capabilities and also provide users with an economical solution across a wide range of applications and industries. Developed specifically for wear pad applications, Nylatron™ WP PA6 components exhibit excellent wear properties and a high limiting PV, while also offering weight and noise reduction, corrosion resistance and easy machining. An additional key benefit of this grade in particular is its ability to extend part life and reduce maintenance and associated downtime and costs.
