Our range of amorphous or semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics are generally suitable for applications up to 120°C. Engineering plastic materials tend to be of medium cost, with moderate temperature resistance, mid-range strength, and exhibit good impact and chemical resistance. Our selection encompasses cast and extruded Nylons PA6 and PA66, Acetal POM, PBT, PET and Polycarbonates. Additionally, modified grades of all materials are available.
Cast nylon, compared to extruded nylon PA6E, has better physical properties such as higher tensile strength, maximum stiffness and hardness, better wear resistance, lower moisture absorption and better dimensional stability. It particularly suits the production of large parts and thick wall sections.
Oil filled nylon is a lubricant modified cast PA6C, particularly suitable for applications involving dry running. The uniform distribution of lubricant over the whole cross-section achieved with oil filled nylon guarantees a constant sliding and wear behaviour throughout the whole service life.
MoS2 filled cast nylon is similar to standard PA6C but with added solid lubricant Molybdenum Disulfide. Good UV resistance and improved sliding properties. High surface hardness, high strength, good damping properties. Tough material providing high abrasion resistance.
Acetal POM offers low moisture absorption, good fatigue strength and rigidity, Its dimensional stability is great for precision parts with tight tolerances. Good sliding characteristics, retains impact strength even at low temperatures and is easily machined.
Acetal PE Blend has added polyethylene (PE) as a solid lubricant for improved sliding properties and abrasion resistance. Excellent material for parts & components that require enhanced service properties and extended service life.
