Ertalon® and Nylatron® Products

Nylatron NSM is a proprietary cast nylon 6 formulation containing solid lubricant additives which grant this material self-lubricity, excellent frictional behaviour, superior wear resistance and outstanding pressure-velocity capabilities

Nylatron® WP PA6

This is a material with a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, heat and wear resistance than Ertalon 6 SA. It also has a better creep resistance but its impact strength and mechanical damping ability are reduced. Well suited for machining on automatic lathes. Please note that Ertalon 66 SA natural rods over dia. 150 mm are made from a modified polyamide 66 resin. Ertalon 66 SA natural (rods, plates) is available as a "Food Grade".

This unmodified cast nylon 6 grade exhibiting characteristics which come very close to those of Ertalon 66 SA. It combines high strength, stiffness and hardness with good creep and wear resistance, heat aging properties and machinability.

Compared with conventional nylons, Ertalon 4.6 features a better retention of stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures as well as superior heat aging resistance.

This modified cast nylon 6 grade with its distinctive blue color exhibits higher toughness, flexibility and fatigue resistance than Ertalon® 6 PLA. It has proven to be an excellent material for gear wheels, racks and pinions.

Nylatron GSM contains finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide to enhance its bearing and wear behaviour without impairing the impact and fatigue resistance inherent to unmodified cast nylon grades. It is a very commonly used grade for gears, bearings, sprockets and sheaves.

Nylatron® LIG combines the toughness of cast PA6 with an oil-based lubricant that is encapsulated within the nylon matrix. It increases the load bearing performance of the material when compared to unfilled nylons and reduces the coefficient of friction. It is an ideal material for industrial application.

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.

Compared with virgin PA 66, this 30% glass fiber reinforced and heat stabilized nylon grade offers increased strength, stiffness, creep resistance and dimensional stability whilst retaining an excellent wear resistance. It also allows higher maximum service temperatures.

The first cast nylon to combine both molybdenum disulphid (MoS) and oil for the load capacity of Nylatron GSM PA6, plus improved frictional characteristics. It excels in higher pressures, and at low speeds-up to 40 fpm.

This high performance cast nylon 6 bearing grade provides an even better wear resistance than Nylatron NSM, combined with superior pressure-velocity capabilities and an industry first: a near zero level of "stick-slip".

This polyamide 6 grade, containing a metal detectable additive, has been specifically tailored for use in the food processing and packaging industries where it can easily be taced by the conventional metal detection systems installed to detect contamination of the foodstuffs (result may vary depending on the sensitivity of the metal detection system used).

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 slowly moving parts applications, yields a considerable enlargement of the application opportunities compared to standard cast nylons.

Quadrant’s new Nylatron® 66 SA FST is a specifically designed polymer solution for aircraft interior applications. Its unique features make it the first engineering plastic product of its kind available as semi-finished shapes (rods and sheets).
