Within
the polyamides, commonly referred to as "nylon",
we distinguish different types. The most important ones
are: PA 6, PA 66, PA 11 and PA 12. The differences in
physical properties which exist between these types
are mainly determined by the composition and the structure
of their molecular chains.

Ertalon
6 SA (PA 6) natural (white) / black
Ertalon
6 SA (PA 6) offers an optimal combination of mechanical
strength, stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping properties
and wear resistance. These properties, together with
a favourable electrical insulating ability and a good
chemical resistance make Ertalon 6 SA a "general
purpose" grade for mechanical construction and
maintenance.
Ertalon
66 SA (PA 66) natural (cream) / black
Ertalon
66 SA (PA 66) is 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.
Ertalon
66-GF30 (PA 66-GF30) black
Ertalon
66-GF30 PA 66-GF30), when compared with virgin PA 66,
this 30% glass fibre reinforced and heat stabilised
nylon grade offers increased strength, stiffness, creep
resistance and dimensional stability whilst retaining
an excellent wear resistance. It also allows higher
max. service temperatures.
Nylatron
GS (PA 66 + MoS²) grey-black
Nylatron
GS (PA 66 + MoS²). The addition of MoS² renders
this material somewhat stiffer, harder and dimensionally
more stable than Ertalon 66 SA, but results in some
loss of impact strength. The nucleating effect of the
molybdenum disulphide results into an improved crystalline
structure enhancing bearing and wear properties.

Cast
Nylon Products
Ertalon
6 PLA (PA 6) natural (ivory) / black
Ertalon
6 PLA (PA 6). 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 ageing properties
and machinability.
Ertalon
6 XAU+ (PA 6)
black
Ertalon
6 XAU+ (PA 6) is a heat stabilised cast nylon grade
with a very dense and highly crystalline structure.
Compared with a conventional extruded nylon or cast
nylon, Ertalon 6 XAU+ offers superior heat ageing performance
in air (much better resistance to thermal-oxidative
degradation), allowing 15 - 30°C higher continuously
allowable service temperatures. Ertalon 6 XAU+ is particularly
recommended for bearings and other mechanical parts
subject to wear which are operating for long periods
of time at temperatures over 60°C.
Ertalon
LFX (PA6 + oil) green
Ertalon
LFX (PA6 + oil). 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
possibilities of nylons. This because of its reduced
coefficient of friction (up to -50%) and improved wear
resistance (up to x 10).
Nylatron
MC901 (PA6) blue
Nylatron
MC901 (PA6) is a cast nylon 6 with a distinctive blue
colour, it exhibits higher toughness, flexibility and
fatigue resistance than Ertalon 6 PLA. It has proved
to be an excellent material for gear wheels, racks and
pinions.
Nylatron
GSM (PA6 + MoS²) grey-black
Nylatron
GSM (PA6 + MoS²) is a cast nylon 6 containing 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
NSM (PA6 + solid lubricant) grey
Nylatron
NSM (PA6 + solid lubricant) is
a proprietary cast nylon 6 formulation containing solid
lubricant additives which grant this material self-lubricity,
excellent frictional properties, superior wear resistance
and outstanding Pressure - Velocity capabilities (up
to 5 times higher than conventional cast nylons). Being
particularly suited for higher velocity, unlubricated
moving parts applications, it is the perfect complement
to the oil-filled grade Ertalon LFX.

Nylon & Nylatron Proven Application
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. (Prior material: Bronze)
Rollers, Wheels, Wear Components
Nylon offers better wear resistance, compressive strength and fatigue resistance than other materials in a variety of wear applications. (Prior materials: Steel, Aluminum, UHMW-PE, Injection Molded Nylon)
Wear Pads
Wear pads made of Nylatron® NSM nylon are light weight, able to support heavy loads, are non-abrasive to mating surfaces. (Prior material: Bronze and cast iron covered with UHMW-PE)
Gears
Gears made of Nylatron® NSM nylon run quieter and wear longer without the need for lubrication on processing equipment. (Prior materials: Bronze
and steel)
Nozzle
MC® 901 is custom cast to size saving fabrication time and money in this port cap and diffuser nozzle application. It also weighs only 1/7 the former parts making parts easier to handle and install. (Prior material: Stainless Steel)
Technical Engineering Notes
Nylons can absorb up to 9% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This results in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
