Description

CAST NYLON 6 – red colour – produced with the addition of solid lubricator which gives to this product better self-lubrication. Whilst retaining the general features of OMNIAMID LF it is more shock resistant.
 

Features

• Self-lubricating: the friction coefficient is the lowest among cast polyamides
• Wear resistance: better than natural PA6
• Tensile stress and compressive strength: same as Omniamid G, whilst the shock resistance is higher, the fatigue resistance is more elevated
• Ageing resistance: weatherproof and good resistance at low temperature
• Red colour

Weak Point

• It is hygroscopic even if to a lesser extent than natural PA6G. Because of the molecular structure, large-sized cast pieces have better quality than those of small dimensions.

Application

• Mechanical: good self – lubrication makes this kind of CAST nylon particularly suitable to obtain mechanical pieces which are resistant and have a low friction coefficient. Thanks to its good mechanical features and the possibility to obtain large-sized pieces, this material is mainly used to produce large diameter gears, pulleys, wheels and anti-wear guides. Due to the excellent abrasion resistance it is used in the building of parts for construction machines, excavators and earthmovers to produce gear wheels, guide bearings, bearings, sliding bearings etc. In the shipbuilding industry its improved weather resistance makes it suitable for rollers, haulage, sliding guides, bearings. In cable-car systems it is used for pulleys, wheels and sliding blocks
• Food contact: it cannot be used in contact with food
• Electrical: the use in the electrical field is to be avoided as the electrical properties change with the change in moisture content. It is sometimes used when its mechanical features are requested
• Chemical: it is resistant to alkali, inorganic compounds and solvents
