Agriculture’s Need for Nylon

Despite the images the term agriculture conjures up for others, those in and related to the industry know it is far more fast-paced and involves a great deal more mechanical aspects than the commonly idealized scene of a cow lazily standing in a field. Farmers and growers work hard and need their equipment to stand…

Industrial dryers have one thing in common with fast moving manufacturing lines, overs and kilns. Heat. Lots of it. And when heat meets regular wear and tear, problems are the result. That's why we created Nylatech BLUE. This heat-stabilized grade of cast nylon was developed to take the heat of bushings, rollers, wear pads and…

Few things have the chemical toxic load of wastewater. It isn't just the areas the waste is "supposed" to go that are affected by the chemical interactions - it's also all those places where the waste seeps, creeps and splashes. It's mandatory to ensure all aspects of a facility can handle heavy duty flow as…

Nylatech Nylon Bearings are lighter than steel and have excellent wear resistance with a high load capacity. Switching to a nylon bearing doesn't have to be a trial. We have experience with a variety of applications that take the guess-work out of replacing traditional materials with Nylatech Nylon. Click here to download this short presentation…

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…

There is no environment harsher than the open water. With salt, wind and water all at play in varying weather patterns, outfitting boats properly is an important aspect of safety. In the past, many boat elements like rope liners and rollers have been made of rubber, but there is a more durable option - nylon.…

Decades ago, it would have been surprising to see a plastic chain guide in any industry, let alone in a heavy duty conveyor environment; but now it seems that those dealing with chain-driven equipment have embraced the benefits. Plastic chain guides are known for their ability to reduce friction, dampen noise, soften vibration and even…

Valves and seals made of nylon consistently outperform their rubber and metal counterparts. They last longer, can be pre-coloured (no painting) and can take the same amount of pressure (and then some) of components made of other materials. Due to its unique chemical composition, nylon is self-lubricating and won't dry out like rubber seals. Plus,…

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…
