Nylatech's Self Lubricating Materials are offered for applications where maintenance lubrication is difficult or impossible.
Different grades have been formulated to work optimally for general purpose, FDA, high load, and increased wear and/or abrasion applications:
1. NYLATECH® OIL Offers:
- Low Coefficient of Friction
- Reduced "Slip-Stick"
- Low Moisture Adsorption
- Reduced or Eliminated need for Lubrication
- NYLATECH® OIL-NATURAL is FDA and USDA approved
- Limiting PV = 4,000 psi · fpm
2. NYLATECH® NATURAL-OIL for food contact applications.
This grade to conform with FDA Regulations for direct contact with food.
Typical Applications:
- General Purpose Bearings and Bushings
