Self-Lubricating Nylon PA6 Granules For Gears And Sliding Components

Product Description

Self-Lubricating Nylon PA6 granules are developed to enhance the performance of gears, sliding components, and friction-intensive machine parts. By embedding solid lubricants into the nylon matrix, these granules enable smoother operation, reduced wear, and lower noise compared to conventional materials. This material ensures extended service life even under continuous sliding contact, making it ideal for industrial and mechanical applications.

Properties Data Sheet

Notes: The general guidelines are only for reference. Exact settings have to follow the product and machine conditions.

Avoid contact with other materials, dust and debris in the injection processing.

Avoid long time stay in the barrel in the injection processing.

Precautions

Granules should be dried at 70–80°C for at least 3 hours before injection molding. For high-load gears, reinforced grades (e.g., glass fiber filled) are recommended to improve stiffness and reduce deformation. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids and solvents. Regular inspection of molded parts is advised to ensure long-term safety in mechanical systems.

Features, Advantages & Properties

• Embedded lubricants reduce friction and wear

• Extended lifespan of gears and sliding mechanisms

• Excellent noise reduction, ensuring smoother operation

• Good chemical resistance and fatigue strength

• Can be customized in black, natural, or blue colors

• Compatible with injection molding and extrusion processes

Working Principle & Applications

The internal lubricating additives act as friction modifiers, allowing moving parts to glide smoothly against each other. This reduces energy loss and prevents heat buildup. Key applications include machine gears, sliding guides, conveyor components, pulleys, and rollers. With its balance of strength and lubricity, it is widely adopted in mechanical engineering and automation equipment.
