New Oven! Nylon Discs and Tubes up to 96”

We are committed to continuously advancing our production capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We are excited to announce a significant upgrade to our manufacturing process with the addition of a new, state-of-the-art oven that allows us to produce cast nylon discs and tubes up to 96” in outer diameter. Enhancing Our…

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,…

NYLATECH® PVM (pressure/velocity/maximum) was developed to provide a premium material designed for demanding applications requiring durability and low maintenance. This self-lubricating material boasts a low coefficient of friction, significantly enhancing equipment life and operational efficiency. Ideal for bearings and bushings, NYLATECH® PVM is celebrated for its superb machinability, impressive surface finish, and the ability to…

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…

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®…

Nylatech IRG retains the basic physical properties of nylon 6, but has increased impact resistance. Some of the most common applications are, Pile driving pads Vibration dampeners Mechanical stop applications High impact applications Since traditional cast nylon 6 materials are semi-crystalline, they are susceptible to cracking and breaking when subjected to high impact loads especially…

Avoid Off-Cuts, Waste and Unnecessary Machining

With our abilities with near-net casting - you can avoid two costly manufacturing expenses: Added time finishing and machining Useless off-cuts and and waste So what is "near-net casting"? Near net casting is an industrial manufacturing technique where the initial production of the item is very close to the final shape, reducing or eliminating…

Friction is a liability in a sawmill. Not only can it cause excess wear and tear on equipment leading to increased down time, but it can also lead to sparks and breakage, which in a mill, can be deadly. While most mills have converted to lower friction chain beds like those made of urethane,…

The most common type of Nylon are Cast Nylon (Type 6) and Extruded Nylon (Type 6,6). The largest applications for Nylon are bearings, cams, valve seats, gears and other bearing and wear applications that require quiet operation, wear resistance and low coefficients of friction. Nylon is typically not preferred for wet applications as it absorbs…

Cast Nylon Delivers in Energy and Alternative Energy Applications

To some, alternative energy refers to energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. This can include bio diesel, nuclear power and hydroelectric dams. To others, alternative energy is known for sources of power that do not deplete our natural resources or harm the environment. Such sources…
