Cast Polyamide 6 (Cast Nylon 6 or PA 6) is one of the most versatile thermoplastics. Cast Nylon is a polymer characterised by its high molecular weight and its highly crystalline nature. With its unparalleled toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength, and lubricity, Nylon perfectly caters to the rigorous demands of modern engineers. This exceptional material serves as an ideal replacement for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, offering numerous benefits such as noise reduction, reduced lubrication requirements, and minimised downtime. Nylon can be easily machined using standard general-purpose machinery, allowing for seamless integration into various applications. Through the incorporation of additives such as oil, solid lubricants, thermal stabilisers, or specialised fillers, the inherent properties of cast nylon materials can be finely tuned to suit specific applications, thus offering a diverse array of materials tailored to various needs. Furthermore, cast polyamide 6 stands out as an excellent alternative to metal, boasting fatigue resistance, noise reduction, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. PA 6 is a low maintenance material when compared with other metals such as iron, aluminium, brass and bronze. ‘PA XLU Grade’ – Cast Polyamide Extra Lubricant PA XLU Grade is blue in colour and is a superior grade of internally lubricated polyamide designed to enhance frictional and load-bearing properties. This remarkable material features inbuilt oil that remains stable even under harsh working conditions, ensuring it does not spin out, dry out, or drain out. PA XLU exhibits a 25% lower coefficient of friction compared to conventional grades of polyamide, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring extreme lubrication of mechanical parts. With a recommended working temperature of up to 110°C, this material delivers exceptional performance and reliability.
