Nylatron LFG (Lubricated Food Grade) is self-lubricating in the real meaning of the word, and has a FDA food contact compliant composition. Nylatron LFG has been specially developed for non-lubricated, highly loaded and slowly moving parts in food contact applications. Compared to standard cast nylons, it offers lower maintenance costs and longer service life.

Product Overview.

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

Engineering Notes.

Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
