Nylatron® NSM
About Nylatron® NSM
Nylatron® NSM is a proprietary cast nylon 6 formulation containing solid lubricant additives which grant this material self-lubricity, excellent frictional behavior, superior wear resistance, and outstanding pressure-velocity capabilities—up to 5 times higher than conventional cast nylons.
Nylatron® NSM for Wear Pads
In wear pad applications, Nylatron® NSM delivers unmatched performance where friction reduction and durability are critical. Its solid lubricant-enhanced formulation ensures:
– Extended service life under high load and motion conditions
– Reduced friction and heat buildup, improving system efficiency
– High PV rating, ideal for dynamic, high-speed environments
– Noise dampening, making it a smart alternative to metal components
– Dimensional stability, even in fluctuating temperature and moisture conditions
– Minimized slip-stick behavior, enabling smoother, more consistent motion in reciprocating or sliding systems
Whether you’re designing industrial machinery, material handling systems, or structural supports, Nylatron® NSM wear pads offer long-term reliability and cost-effective performance.
