Sustaglide® green PA PA 6 G

About SUSTAGLIDE®

SUSTAGLIDE® in an internally lubricated type 6 cast nylon.  It exhibits a low coeffient of friction, good wear and abrasion resistance, and is a great choice for sliding applications under heavy loads.

Sustaglide® is a highly modified caprolactum grade, incorporating a lubricating "particulate matrix" that is evenly distributed throughout the polymer that further reduces the sliding coefficient of friction.

Sustaglide® is Green in colour.

This grade has 5 times higher Pressure-Velocity capability over standard Sustamid® PA6 G type.

According to EC and FDA regulations, Sustaglide® is suitable for use in contact with food.
