| 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. Benefits: - Outstanding wear and abrasion resistance
