Material: Nylon 66 + MoS2 - Nylatron® GS

PA66 with molybdenum disulphide filler. Gives a material with even better wear resistance and a lower coefficient of friction. Stiffness, tensile strength and temperature resistance are also improved. High impact strength, good fatigue resistance, high mechanical damping, low weight (1/6 vs steel) and good alkaline resistance.
