An MDS additive provides exceptional wear resistance as well as a self-lubricating surface. Made of cast nylon 6, they’re easier to machine than other MDS-filled nylon sheets and bars. They’re also better electrical insulators. Use them to fabricate gears, sprockets, wear strips, and other high-friction parts. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

MDS-Filled Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes

Color: Black
Maximum Temperature: 230° F
Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 1.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell R110 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: ASTM D5989

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes. Tubes can be used to fabricate pulleys, bushings, and bearings installed in hard-to-reach areas where adding a lubricant would be difficult. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized to allow for finishing to the sizes listed. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.
