Cast Nylons Standard Type 6 Products

NYCAST® 6PA MoS2 & NYCAST® 6 PA NATURAL
Two of the most widely used cast nylons in the industry, NYCAST® 6PA MoS2 and NYCAST® 6PA NATURAL have delivered successful performance - with and without lubrication - in a variety of diverse applications, particularly as a bearing material. They are lightweight, offer extremely good wear resistance, high tensile strength and high modulus of elasticity. Other significant properties include:

• High impact resistance
• Excellent vibration resistance
• Resistance to brittleness and deterioration
• Easy machinability and abrasion resistance
• High heat distortion temperature

NYCAST® 6PA MoS2
NYCAST® 6PA-MoS2 is a popular choice as a dry lubricant-filled bearing material. Manufactured to be a more crystalline product with improved wear resistance, NYCAST® 6PA-MoS2 also offers improved compressive strength.

HEAT STABILIZATION PROPERTIES
NYCAST® XHA-BLUE has a heat stabilizer that retards the loss of physical properties as temperature increases. This allows the material to function at approximately 10% higher temperatures than standard grades; meaning NYCAST® XHA operating at 200° F will have approximately the same physical properties as a standard grade operating at 185° F. Maximum intermittent temperature for NYCAST® XHA is 330° F and continuous operating temperature is 250° F (compared to 230° F for standard grades).
