NYLATRON, the reinforced nylon for demanding applications
About NYLATRON
NYLATRON is a reinforced nylon with additives, such as molybdenum fibers or carbon, to enhance its mechanical strength and reduce wear. This material is ideal for demanding industrial applications requiring a combination of stiffness, shock resistance, and low friction. Thanks to its enhanced performance, it is widely used to replace metal in parts subjected to heavy loads.

Characteristics of NYLATRON
Mechanical Performance
- Excellent wear resistance: the addition of fibers improves durability under intense friction conditions.
- High stiffness and load resistance: it withstands high pressures without deforming.
- Reduction in the friction coefficient: this material is ideal for applications requiring minimal lubrication.
Thermal Performance
- Resistance to high temperatures: it can be used continuously up to 120°C without loss of properties.
- Good dimensional stability: low thermal expansion for precise tolerances.
Chemical Performance
- Resistant to oils and hydrocarbons: NYLATRON is compatible with many industrial environments.
- Good resistance to certain solvents and chemicals: it is fully suited for demanding conditions.
Practicality
- Easy to machine: NYLATRON allows the manufacturing of complex parts with high precision.
- Lightweight alternative to metal: this material offers significant weight reduction without compromising performance.
Use of NYLATRON
NYLATRON is commonly used for manufacturing gears, bearings, bushings, and other components subject to high mechanical loads. It is valued for its longevity and its ability to replace metal parts by combining robustness with lightness.
FAQ and Comparisons
What is the difference between NYLATRON and standard nylon?
NYLATRON contains additives that enhance its stiffness and wear resistance, whereas standard nylon is more flexible and performs less well under high loads.
Is NYLATRON stronger than UHMW?
Yes, it offers better stiffness and increased resistance to mechanical loads, while UHMW is more flexible and better absorbs impacts.
Can NYLATRON be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, it supports higher temperatures than standard nylon, up to 120°C continuously.
How does NYLATRON compare to PEEK?
PEEK offers even greater thermal and chemical resistance, but NYLATRON is more economical and remains effective in many mechanical applications.
Can NYLATRON replace metal?
In many applications, yes. It reduces weight, noise, and wear of components while maintaining excellent mechanical strength.
