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.

Product Overview.

Broadest size range availability
Good mechanical and electrical properties
Ideal balance of strength and toughness
Internally lubricated
Cast as finished parts and near net shapes (nylon 6)

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.
