Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
- Typical Applications
Mechanical engineering, automotive and general machinery construction - e.g. plain bearings, coil bodies, guide & clutch parts, gears, cams, rollers, slide bearings, seal rings and guide rails, pulleys, conveyor parts.
- Machinability
While not as fine as acetal, the machinability of unmodified nylon is very good. Glass-filled grades will require the use of tipped tooling. As with all plastic materials, experience has shown that extra care must be taken with larger diameters, especially in the colder months when plastic materials lose some of their toughness and so have less resistance to machining stresses. It’s therefore important to ensure that these materials are not machined while in a chilled condition.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Description
Grade Modification Purpose Nylon 6G+MoS₂ (molybdenum disulphide) – (PA6GMO) Addition of liquid lubricant. Color: black Improved wear resistance, good sliding properties & very good UV resistance. - Chemical Resistance
Nylon 6G is highly resistant to: hydrocarbons, alkalis, fats, oils, fuels, ethers, esters and ketones. But it is not resistant to: halogens, mineral acids and certain organic acids, oxidizing agents.
Acid resistance - Alkali resistance + Hydrocarbon resistance +/0 Chlorinated hydrocarbon resistance - Aromatic resistance +/0 Ketone resistance + Resistance to hot water +/0 - Dimensional Stability
Like most Nylons, 6G will slowly absorb / exude moisture depending on the humidity of the surrounding atmosphere. This has three significant affects; importantly, a component will change dimension so consideration must be given to this e.g. bearing clearances. Electrical insulation properties will change – consider Nylon 12 as an alternative. Usefully, high humidity will toughen Nylon 6G, with significantly higher impact strength being recorded.
