MDS-Filled Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Rods and Discs
- Color: Black
- Max. 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
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 rods and discs, plus they are better electrical insulators. Use them to fabricate gears, sprockets, wear strips, and other high-friction parts. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Rods and Discs
- Color: Off-White
- Temperature Range: -20° to 200° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 1.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R110-R115 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D5989, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1500, UL 94 HB
Because these cast nylon 6 rods and discs are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6, they’re often made into pulleys, screws, bushings, and bearings. They’re also better electrical insulators. They have a wear-resistant, slippery surface that reduces friction. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.
