Nylube was introduced into the Nylacast product range
in 1989 as a logical progression to Oilon with already
outstanding performance as a bearing material. Since
that time, it has proved to be Nylacast’s supreme
wear resisting grade and one of the most important
developments from Nylacast in new materials. Nylube
contains a combined liquid/solid lubricant system which
allows for a coefficient of friction as low as 0.08. This
is below that of almost any other polymer available at
present.
Nylube has substantially improved the wear resistance
abilities compared to that of any other currently available
lubricated grade of cast nylon, whilst retaining excellent
physical property characteristics. The material is
particularly suited to dry running bearing applications
throughout a wide load, speed and temperature range (up
to 120ºC).
Like Oilon, Nylube is suitable for use in applications in the
food and pharmaceutical industries.
