This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

The addition of MDS results in a nylon with exceptional wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Designed for extreme wear resistance, this Kevlar-filled nylon 6/6 material lasts up to 20 times longer than unfilled nylon. Also known as Hydlar Z, it is often used for parts that are continuously exposed to wear and abrasion, such as wear strips and bushings.

With glass reinforcement, this nylon 6/6 material is stronger than standard nylon, plus it can withstand higher temperatures. It’s widely used in high-stress applications, such as caster wheels and automotive parts.
