Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Ertalon® LFX PA 6 + oil, cast (ISO Data)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, Cast
Material Notes:	This internally lubricated cast nylon 6 is self-lubricating in the real meaning of the word. Ertalon LFX, especially developed for unlubricated, highly loaded and slow moving parts applications, yields a considerable enlargement of the application opportunities compared to standard cast nylons. It offers a reduced coefficient of friction (up to 50% lower), considerably increasing the pressure-velocity capabilities, and a vastly improved wear resistance (up to 10 times better). High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness Good fatigue resistance High mechanical damping ability Good sliding properties Excellent wear resistance Good electrical insulating properties Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays) Good machinability Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is now Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials.
