NYCAST

Nycast® Nyloil®MDX Gray provides superior machinability, performance, and durability compared to other plastic and traditional bearing materials. Three grades of NYLOIL are available to fit the most demanding applications: original green NYLOIL for most bearing applications; food-grade, Natural NYLOIL-FG for direct contact with food, and MoS2 filledNYLOIL-MDX with slightly higher compressive load capabilities than original NYLOIL. The incorporation of an oil lubricant package into the nylon matrix provides significant advantages over other bearing materials: NYLOIL-MDX is formulated with Molybdenum Disulfide filler, which promotes higher crystallinity in the cast polymer, in addition to the oil lubricant package. This yields a bearing material with more consistent intermolecular structure and generally a narrower distribution within the range of physical property values, while retaining the advanced friction properties of unfilled NYLOIL.

Nycast® XHA — Blue is operating at 200°F (93°C) will approximately have the same physical properties as a standard material at 185°F (85°C). This material has delivered successful performance throughout the years. The main advantages of NYCAST XHA blue are: Also available in natural, black and forest green.

Nycast® SLX closes the gap between static and dynamic coefficients of friction with superior performance where customers require the best material for overcoming “stick-slip” tendencies. Unlike other brands, NYCAST SLX is available in all stock shapes.

Nycast® CP 6/12 has proven itself in many applications that require an extra degree of toughness. A copolymer of Caprolactam and Laurinlactam, NYCAST CP was specifically developed for use in ball valve seats in the oil and gas industry. This durable material provides an economical, high-performance bridge between NYCAST 6 and NYCAST 12 formulations. NYCAST CP has a higher elongation, superior dimensional stability and a safety yellow color. Because of this, it has found itself a superior choice for wobbler box inserts and coupling boxes in the cold rolling steel industry as well as mandrel covers used in paper tube manufacturing plants.

Nycast® 6 MPB (Blue) formulations provide performance advantages in applications that require improved impact properties over standard grades. NYCAST 6MP cushion pads protect the hammer from metal-to-metal damage in pile drivers and provide many performance advantages in certain gear, die block, valve seat and other applications. This formulation also provides superior performance in extreme cold temperature applications, where standard grades are prone to impact failure.

Nycast® 6PA FG can be in direct contact with foods. The material offers high wear resistance and is an ideal substitute for stainless steel wherever lubrication is not a concern. If you need a lubricated material, please look at our NYCAST NYLOIL FG. Cast Nylons is offers NYCAST 6 FG in various colors.

Nycast® Nyloil FG can be in direct contact with foods. This material is a perfect substitute for stainless steel due to its high wear resistance, combined with low moisture absorption and good resistance against most cleaning agents. The incorporated oil enables most applications to run without additional lubrication. Multiple color options are available.

Nycast® 12 remain virtually unaffected in a wide range of environments. NYCAST 12 offers superior performance in applications where dimensional stability, chemical resistance, dielectrics, abrasion resistance and impact strength are important factors. In wet or dry environments, indoor or outdoor, the low deformation and superior fatigue resistance properties of NYCAST 12 delivers unmatched performance in many high-speed wheel and roller applications. This material is also well-suited to use for power transmission components in material handling and transportation environments, as well as in structural and enclosure elements in sensitive electronic and manufacturing equipment. Cast Nylons Limited is the only producer of cast nylon 12 in North America.

Nycast® 6 MPY (yellow) formulations provide performance advantages in applications that require improved impact properties over standard grades. NYCAST 6MP cushion pads protect the hammer from metal-to-metal damage in pile drivers and provide many performance advantages in certain gear, die block, valve seat and other applications. This formulation also provides superior performance in extreme cold temperature applications, where standard grades are prone to impact failure.

Nycast® 6PA MoS2 is used in metal applications for lubrication and has delivered successful performance throughout the years. The main advantages of NYCAST 6PA MoS2are:.

Nycast® Nyloil®MDX Blue offers three grades of self-lubricating Nylon bearing material tailored to meet your specific application. A cast nylon with built-in oil lubrication, NYLOIL provides superior machinability, performance, and durability compared to other plastic and traditional bearing materials. Three grades of NYLOIL are available to fit the most demanding applications: original green NYLOIL for most bearing applications; food-grade, Natural NYLOIL-FG for direct contact with food, and MoS2 filledNYLOIL-MDX with slightly higher compressive load capabilities than original NYLOIL. The incorporation of an oil lubricant package into the nylon matrix provides significant advantages over other bearing materials: NYLOIL-MDX is formulated with Molybdenum Disulfide filler, which promotes higher crystallinity in the cast polymer, in addition to the oil lubricant package. This yields a bearing material with more consistent intermolecular structure and generally a narrower distribution within the range of physical property values, while retaining the advanced friction properties of unfilled NYLOIL.

Nycast® RX/GX/BX are our solid lubricant-filled cast nylons. This material is designed to provide low coefficient of friction with superior wear resistance, making them an excellent choice for high-load, low-speed applications.
