Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Nylatron® SLG-FDA PA6 (ASTM Data Sheet)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA)
Material Notes:	Nylatron® SLG-FDA PA6 (Self-Lubricated Grade) is self-lubricating in the real meaning of the word. The Nylatron® SLG-FDA PA6 has been specially developed for non-lubricated, highly loaded and slowly moving parts in food contact applications. Compared to standard cast nylons, it offers lower maintenance costs and longer service life. High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness Good fatigue resistance High mechanical damping ability Good sliding properties Excellent wear resistance Good electrical insulating properties Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays) Good machinability Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is now Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials.
