NYLATRON® GSM - CAST NYLON 6 + MOS2

 NYLATRON® is a brand name that dates back to Polypenco, when DSM acquired Polypenco and Erta the brand names were reviewed and consolidated. The majority of Nylon products were branded ERTALON® but the most established Polypenco brands such as NYLATRON® were kept.

NYLATRON® GSM Colour Grey

Nylatron GSM®  is a cast, partially cross-linked, Nylon 6 material modified by a carefully controlled level of finely divided particles of molybdenum disulphide additive. The  molybdenum disulphide enhances 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 gear wheels, racks and pinions.

In generally for bearings / bearing surfaces ERTALON® LFX is more suited to high load / low speed applications, NYLATRON® GSM (cast Nylon 6 + MOS2) is a good "all rounder", while NYLATRON® NSM is suitable for applications requiring higher speed but lower loads.
