One of the reasons many cast nylon products are so flexible in their usage is that they are UV resistant, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. The durability and natural lubrication has made cast nylon ideal for replacing rubber and metal parts that wear out quickly like bearings, sprockets, wheels and chain guides,…

WEAR RESISTANT & SELF LUBRICATING Nylon Components for the Mining Industry In the rigorous world of mining, equipment durability is crucial. The constant exposure to sliding, rolling, abrasion, and impact results in significant wear and tear on machinery. Nylatech steps in to address these challenges by offering nylon components that are both wear resistant and…

Uranium Mines are Gearing up for a Strong Comeback

Recent market dynamics have seen a spike in uranium prices, stirring a dormant sector back to life. As we push towards cleaner energy solutions, nuclear power is regaining attention, shining a spotlight on uranium as a key player. The U.S., with its rich history of uranium mining, is poised to reclaim its standing in the…

In the United States, the mining sector is a significant industry, with nearly 13,000 active mines contributing approximately $61 billion to the economy. This sector primarily produces a range of critical commodities, underscoring the importance of efficient and cost-effective operations. Companies within this space are continuously seeking methods to enhance production while minimizing maintenance expenses…

Seawater is brutal on equipment. The salt, the pressure and the regular use all add up to a harsh environment that wears metal and other ROV components down quickly leading to downtime and failure. ROVs are expensive pieces of equipment and every minute of downtime means costs and lost revenue. Metal parts can't stand up…

Outrigger pads are essential when working with heavy duty cranes or equipment on any surface. Not only do outrigger pads need to provide stability for the protection of surfaces and maintaining a level vehicle, they also need to be lightweight, portable and have an excellent crush rating to withstand the pressure of outriggers and significant…

Nylatech provides many wear resistant components to the mining industry that reduce maintenance and extend the life of equipment. Materials are available that contain solid lubricant additives, have high pressure-velocity (PV) values, and excellent wear resistance. In many applications, the high wear resistance can be achieved without start-up or running lubrication. These materials also reduce…

Reducing maintenance and wear of mining equipment

Mining is an important industry and one not without challenges. Equipment in mining is expensive, and equipment downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each day the equipment is out of service. One way to reduce maintenance costs is to reduce the wear and tear on parts by making them in cast nylon. Cast…

Not all jobs are done in the comfort and safety of a cubical or the “corner office.” Some jobs, like mining, require many boots on the ground, and if operations are not done safely, it can lead to dangerous or fatal consequences. Mining equipment accidents are one of the biggest dangers. Mining equipment is often…
