Oilon was a break through of the first magnitude in the world
of cast nylons, developed in the early 70s by Nylacast and
introduced to the market in 1974.
Oilon was the very first authentic lubricated Nylon, having
a blended liquid lubricant system built in during the process
stages, which obviously resulted in a substantial increase in
bearing life, 5 times that of Natural cast nylon and 25 times
that of phosphor bronze! The lubricant contained within the
material will not drain, machine, spin, leech or dry out and
never needs replenishment.
A uniformed distribution of the lubricant throughout the
product guarantees a constant performance over the whole
service life and improvements in rate of wear, sliding frictional
properties, abrasion resistance and stick slip performance
are just a few of the benefits offered by this material. Oilon
has been successful in considerably enlarging the application
possibilities of nylons in many areas and specifically
that of unlubricated moving parts. Oilon has acquired an
unmatchable track record over the past 40 years and
continues to go from strength to strength, for Nylacast has
over this period produced thousands of tons of Oilon and the
trend continues.
There have been many imitators over the years since Oilon
has been introduced, however, Oilon has not yet been
equalled by its rivals and remains the premier oil-lubricated
nylon available from any source. Oilon is suitable for use in
applications in both the food and pharmaceutical industries.
