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
