Sustaglide - Self Lubricating Nylon


Sustaglide Product Description:

 

Sustaglide Rod, Sheet and Tube is a modified Nylon grade, incorporating a self lubricating "particulate matrix" that is evenly distributed to further reduce the sliding coefficient of friction. In comparison with Sustamid 6 GOL, Sustaglide utilises different sliding additives which enable higher loads and sliding face temperatures, thus providing optimum performance with respect to wear and friction coefficient.


Key Benefits of Sustaglide Rod and Sheet:

  • Low density
  • Can absorb up to 2% moisture at 50% humidity
  • Higher loadings and velocities are possible
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Is able to resist high mechanical loads
  • Low distortion when under mechanical loads
  • Is able to resist very high impact loading
  • Has a high surface hardness
  • High mechanical strength and stiffness
  • Can be in contact with food (FDA)
