METALON®
6PLA NATURAL/BLACK
Because of its successful performance in a variety of diverse engineering applications, METALON® 6PLA is the most widely used cast nylon in the industry, especially as a bearing material. When used for OEM and maintenance requirements, METALON® has replaced bronze, brass, steel, aluminum, and other metals, as well as other plastics, wood & rubber. METALON® 6 PLA provides extremely good wear resistance, coupled with high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. METALON® 6 PLA cast nylons function exceptionally well with lubrication, and without lubrication under low PV limits.
