Nylon 4.6 - ERTALON 4.6
Compared with the conventional nylons, ERTALON 4.6 (STANYLŪ) features a better retention of stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures as well as a superior heat ageing resistance. Therefore, applications for ERTALON 4.6 are situated in the "higher temperature area" (80 - 150°C) where stiffness, creep resistance, heat ageing resistance, fatigue strength and wear resistance of PA 6, PA 66, POM and PET fall short.
Profile
- High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
- Excellent resilience
- Good creep resistance
- High impact strength, even at low temperatures
- Very good dimensional stability (low water absorption)
- Good sliding properties and wear resistance
- Excellent machinability
- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
- Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
- Not self-extinguishing
Applications
- Bearings
- NYLATRON NSM nylon offers up to 10 times longer part life than standard type 6 nylon in this Pivot Bushing on a Mining Dump Truck.
- Rollers, Wheels, Wear Components
- Nylon offers better wear resistance, compressive strength and fatigue resistance than other materials in a variety of wear applications.
- Wear pads
- Wear Pads made of NYLATRON NSM nylon are light weight, able to support heavy loads and are non-abrasive to mating surfaces.
- Gears
- Gears made of NYLATRON NSM nylon run more quietly and wear longer without the need for lubrication on processing equipment.
- Nozzle
- Nylatron MC 901 is custom cast to size saving fabrication time and money in this Port Cap and Diffuser Nozzle application. It only weighs a fraction of the former components making the parts easier to handle and install.
