Nylatron

Nylatron is a tradename for a family of nylon plastics, typically filled with molybdenum disulfide lubricant powder. It is used to cast plastic parts for machines, because of its mechanical properties and wear-resistance.

Nylatron is a brand name of DSM Plastics and was originally developed and manufactured by Polypenco.

Nylatron is used in several applications such as:
rotary lever actuators where unusual shapes are required
heavy-duty caster wheels, normally as a replacement for cast iron or forged steel
Plain bearing material, especially in Screw conveyor applications
