Viva Nylons Limited Wax Filled Nylon (WFN) is a supreme abrasion resistant grade contains a blended wax lubrication system, uniformly distributed to radically improve wear resistance and coefficient of friction characteristics. The material has excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties and exhibits outstanding pressure velocity capabilities. WFN is particularly suited to dry running bearing applications.

Viva Nylons Limited PA6/12, offers excellent dimensional stability and reduced moisture absorption. A copolymer of Nylon 6 and Nylon 12, produced via the anionic polymerization process using the monomer’s Caprolactam and Laurinlactam. It has reduced water absorption and improved stability and impact strength.

Nylacast Impact is specifically designed for applications that require high impact resistance and noise reduction capabilities. It works effectively in applications where there is high stress. It also has good mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties. The impact grade is ideally suited to applications such as support rollers for the aggregate processing industry, dollies used in conjunction with pile drivers and crane feet pads as well as roller coaster wheels in relation to noise reduction.

Nylacast Oilon™ was the very first authentic lubricated Nylon, having a blended liquid lubricant system built-in during the process stages, which obviously resulted in a substantial increase in bearing life, 5 times that of Natural cast nylon and 25 times that of phosphor bronze. The lubricant contained within the material will not drain, machine, spin, leech or dry out and never needs replenishment. A uniformed distribution of the lubricant throughout the product guarantees a constant performance over the whole service life and improvements in the rate of wear, sliding frictional properties, abrasion resistance and stick-slip performance are just a few of the benefits offered by this material. It is the leading Oil Filled Nylon for over 40 years.

Viva Nylons Limited POM-C (Acetal) otherwise known as Acetal Copolymer features highly crystalline resins, making this material strong and rigid, with a low coefficient of friction in comparison to metals and other plastics. POM-C is also creep resistant and is recommended for applications where dimensional stability is important. The Copolymer grade is the ideal combination of strength, stiffness and wears resistance. It absorbs very little moisture, is easily machinable and is genuinely porosity-free making it the preferred grade for food contact and medical applications. The product exhibits an elevated resistance to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal-oxidative degradation when compared to acetal homopolymer.

Viva Nylons Limited Polypropylene (PP) is a lightweight copolymer material with high impact, stress cracking and chemical resistance. Not only does this material offer these characteristics but also exhibits great flexibility and toughness at low temperatures with low moisture intake. Polypropylene (PP) features excellent chemical and acid resistance properties in addition to high impact strength.

Nylacast Nylube contains a combined liquid/solid lubricant system which allows for a coefficient of friction as low as 0.08. This is below that of almost any other polymer available at present. Nylube has substantially improved the wear resistance abilities compared to that of any other currently available lubricated grade of cast nylon, whilst retaining excellent physical property characteristics. Nylube was introduced into the market in 1989 as a logical progression to Nylacast Oilon. Since that time, it has proved to be a supreme wear-resisting grade and one of the most important developments within PA6 materials technology. It is the World Leader for over 30 Years.

Viva Nylons Limited Heat Stabilized (HS) PA6 Cast Nylon are additives in the form of high-temperature-resistant colorants, heat and UV stabilizers allow this material to better retain mechanical properties in applications operating at higher temperatures. The color agent used to produce HS Blue's distinctive color conforms to the specifications required by the Japanese market for cast nylon.

Nylacast Aquanyl 612 is the premium PA612 for unrivaled dimensional stability & moisture absorption. Aquanyl 612 is the ideal material choice for when additional resilience is a specific requirement, for example in the ball valve industry where the application of valve seat seals benefits greatly from this material. In addition due to its copolymer make up with nylon 12 the product has a reduced moisture uptake than cast nylon providing improved dimensional stability

Viva Nylons Limited PA6C is the base grade from which all cast nylon materials are created. This unmodified grade of cast nylon 6, produced by an anionic polymerisation casting process, demonstrates similar characteristics to PA66. Cast nylon shapes contain significantly lower stress levels, combined with high strength, good wear resistance result in greater dimensional accuracy when machining.

Viva Nylons Limited PA6C Moly contains improved crystallization and a degree of self-lubrication through the addition of molybdenum disulphide. Hardness increases and simultaneously the general mechanical and anti-friction properties are improved.

Viva Nylons Limited Oil Filled Nylon (OFN) is PA 6C + blended liquid lubricant. It is a complex blended oil lubrication system, uniformly distributed throughout the product guarantees constant performance over the whole service life of this exceptional oil loaded nylon. Excellent sliding frictional properties, abrasion resistance and stick/slip performance make this product the first choice for unlubricated moving parts.

Viva Nylons Limited PA6 Glass Filled material features hollow glass ovules, designed to float and evenly distribute through the polymerizing polymer. The glass additive allows the material to operate at higher maximum service temperatures whilst the solid wax counteracts the deteriorating surface slip characteristics. For applications requiring higher compressive strength, our Glass Filled material incorporates hollow glass ovules for outstanding abrasion and temperature resistant material at high loads. PA6 GF is available in Plate & Rod profiles only.

Viva Nylons Limited PA6 Flame Retardant (FR) is phosphorus and halogen-free, featuring an excellent LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) assisting to prevent or inhibit the outbreak of fire. At the same time, the material possesses a high degree of stiffness, tensile strength outstanding chemical resistance.

Viva Nylons Limited Polyethylene (PE-UHMW) is well known in the polymer family and is often referred to as PE. It has an extremely low coefficient of friction, good chemical and corrosion resistance with excellent impact strength making it an extremely adaptive thermoplastic material. This self-lubricating thermoplastic provides good abrasion and wear resistance, plus high resistance to UV light. Making it a great choice for bulk material handling applications.
