Properties
- Lubrication results in 25% lower coefficient of friction than other grades of nylon
- Performs in harsh environments where lubrication is difficult, impossible or undesirable.
- Oil will not spill out, dry out or drain out, even under the harshest operating conditions.
- Operates efficiently in direct contact with abrasive slurries
- Works successfully in marine applications
- Works and machines as easily as brass
Typical Uses
- Bushings and bearings
- Gears and sprockets
- Wear rails, pads and strips
- Pulleys and sheaves
- Conveyor wheels and rollers
- Feed screws
- Star wheels

Cast Nylon with Oil-Filled Lubrication
A cast nylon with built-in oil lubrication, oil-filled nylon provides superior machinability, performance, and durability compared to other plastic and traditional bearing materials. It also weighs 1/7 the weight of Bronze. During the manufacturing process, an oil lubricant package is completely dispersed within the cast nylon matrix, making it an integral part of the casting's structure. Although not evident by sight or touch, the oil lubricant in the nylon is always at the surface regardless of the amount of material removed during finish machining or normal wear.
Known more commonly under the trade name Nyloil® by Cast Nylons LTD or Nylatron® LIG by MCAM, oil-filled nylon is well known for its green color.
