Products in Off Road & Recreational Vehicle (RV): Polyamides

Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials is considered the world market leader in the production of classic glass-mat-reinforced thermoplastics (GMT). This semi-finished product in panel form was developed primarily as a substitute for metals (steel, aluminum etc.) and its main purchasers can be found in the automotive industry. This is where it is frequently pressed on the industrial scale into complex 3D structural components, although it is also used as panels.

SABIC's Specialties Business LNP THERMOCOMP RF0057E compound is based on Nylon 6/6 resin containing 25% glass fiber. Added features of this grade include: Non-Brominated & Non-Chlorinated Flame Retardant. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.

SABIC's Specialties Business LNP LUBRICOMP SFP36 compound is based on Nylon 12 resin containing 30% glass fiber, 15% PTFE/silicone. Added features of this grade include: Internally Lubricated, Wear Resistant.

Nylacast Oilon was a break through of the first magnitude in the world of cast nylons, developed in the early 70s by Nylacast and introduced to the market in 1974. Oilon was the very first authentic lubricated Nylon, havinga blended liquid lubricant system built in during the processstages, which obviously resulted in a substantial increase inbearing life, 5 times that of Natural cast nylon and 25 timesthat of phosphor bronze! The lubricant contained within thematerial will not drain, machine, spin, leech or dry out andnever needs replenishment.

Nylacast Moly is a cast nylon material in which improved crystallization occurs by the addition of Molybdenum Disulphide. On account of this the superficial hardness increases (providing excellent machine ability) and simultaneously the general mechanical and anti-friction properties are improved. Due to the fact that the crystal structure breaks down immediately before the melting temperature is reached, the thermal properties of the material are improved over the basic grade.

Nylacast Nylube was introduced into the Nylacast product rangein 1989 as a logical progression to Oilon with already outstanding performance as a bearing material. Since that time, it has proved to be Nylacast’s supreme wear resisting grade and one of the most important developments from Nylacast in new materials. 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.
