Polyamide 6 Sheets Infused with Oil for Superior Performance
Our Oil-Infused Polyamide 6 Sheets, also known as Nylon 6 Oil Filled Yellow Sheets, are engineered plastics renowned for their exceptional attributes. These sheets boast outstanding sliding properties, self-lubrication, and enhanced “stick-slip” characteristics.
The secret to their exceptional performance lies in the infusion of a special liquid lubricant during the manufacturing process. This unique formulation ensures genuine lubrication at the bearing surface, resulting in cast nylon sheets with built-in oil lubrication. The oil lubrication is seamlessly and evenly distributed throughout the nylon 6 material, becoming an integral part of its structure. This oil infusion remains steadfast even in the most demanding working conditions, never spinning out, drying out, or draining out.
The oil infusion effectively reduces friction at the bearing interface, by as much as 25%, making these oil-filled Nylon 6 sheets capable of delivering longer wear life compared to unfilled or moly-filled cast nylons. Our standard grade comes in a vibrant yellow color, while we also offer a natural (off-white) FDA & USDA approved grade.
The long-term service temperature range for our oil-filled Nylon 6 sheets spans from -40°C to 85°C, with a short-term maximum service temperature of 160°C. These versatile sheets find their application across various industries, including mechanical engineering, packaging, conveyor systems, machine parts, bearings, bushings, gears, valve seats, wear surfaces, rollers, and guides.
When it comes to machining and finishing, our oil-filled Nylon 6 sheets are well-suited for CNC turning, milling, and precision grinding. In addition to these sheets, we also offer other materials like Nylon 6 Cast Natural Rod and Acetal C Extruded Natural Rod.
