SUSTAGLIDE
Semi-crystalline thermoplastic
Polymerized polyamide 6
Properties
- High moisture absorption up to 3% in a standard environment. This results in increased impact strength. In thin-walled elements, it results in a reduction in mechanical strength and dimensional stability
- Excellent slip properties and wear resistance
- Allows higher loads and higher sliding speeds (up to 5 times higher than SUSTAMID 6G)
- High mechanical strength associated with high impact toughness
- Excellent workability
- Good adhesive properties
- Good weldability
Chemical resistance
Highly resistant to: hydrocarbons, lyes, fats, oils, fuels, ethers, esters and ketones.
Non-resistant to: halogen, mineral acids and some organic acids, oxidizing agents.
Usage area
- Components requiring exceptionally good sliding properties, relatively high load and high sliding speeds.
- Engineering
E.g. Sliding parts and elements, cases
