Overview

As a strong stiff plastic, Nylon 6/6 has outstanding wear resistance and can be used as a replacement for metal bearings and bushings. It acts as a self-lubricator and reduces weight, wear, and operating noise. Moly-filled Nylon (Molybdenum disulfide) acts as a lubricant and enhances wear resistance.
