The casting process used to manufacture MAIZEY SUSTAMID 6G produces in a high-molecular and highly crystalline polyamide type 6 material with outstanding physical properties. Sustamid PA6 G has similar mechanical properties and chemical resistance to a standard Nylon 66. Stock shapes are available in sheet, rod or tube form in a wide selection of sizes.
- Good sliding properties
- Extremely high abrasion resistance
- High mechanical strength coupled with high impact strength
- Excellent machinability
- High mechanical damping ability
- Working temperature range of -40°C to 110°C continuous.
- Good adhesive properties
- Good weldability
- EU & FDA approved for direct food contact applications
- High absorption of moisture (of up to 3 % in standard atmosphere) results in increased impact resistance.
Please note: In thin-walled parts, reduced mechanical strength and dimensional stability
Sustamid is frequently used as a substitute for aluminium, brass or bronze. Used for a wide range of industrial components both for Original Equipment Manufacture and maintenance.
Mechanical engineering: e.g. sliding parts, rollers, bushes, slide bearings, wear pads, support and guide wheels, sprockets tension rollers.
Offshore: e.g. bogies, cable winches, sheaves
Vehicle construction: e.g. sliding parts, hoisting gear, rope pulleys
Foodstuffs industry: e.g. sliding parts, conveyor stars wheels, spiral conveyors, feed screws,
MAIZEY SUSTAMID 6G MO contains finely divided particles of (Molybdenum Disulphide - MOS2) combined with Carbon Black to enhance its bearing and wear behaviour without impairing the impact and fatigue resistance inherent to unmodified cast nylon grades. It is a very commonly used grade for gears, bearings, sprockets and sheaves.

MAIZEY SUSTAMID 6G OL Nylon is an internally lubricated oil filled cast nylon 6 which is self-lubricating in the real meaning of the word. This highly modified caprolactum grade has internal liquid lubricant evenly distributed throughout the polymeric mix and is a distinctive yellow colour.
MAIZEY SUSTAMID 6G OL is specifically developed for unlubricated moving parts applications and yields a considerable growth in the application possibilities of nylon sheet, rod and tube. This is because of its reduced coefficient of friction (-50%) and improved wear resistance (up to 10X).
- Excellent sliding properties
- Extremely high abrasion resistance
- High mechanical strength coupled with high impact strength
- Excellent machinability
- Good adhesive properties and weldability.
Mechanical engineering: e.g. Low load, high speed and low temperature slide or journal bearings, sliding parts, rollers, bushes.
Offshore: e.g. bogies, cable winches
Vehicle construction: e.g. sliding parts, hoisting gear, rope pulleys
Foodstuffs industry: e.g. sliding parts, conveyor stars, spiral conveyors
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
For SUSTAMID® 6 GOL to be most effective, constant speed and pressure is required to activate the liquid lubricant. A fluid lubricant is advantageous in lowering the coefficient of friction and offers a reduction in the "stick - slip" effect however, in applications with minimal sliding movement and intermittent pressure; it is very difficult to maintain the lubricating film as viscosity drops with an increase in temperature. The lubricating film will therefore not be at the sliding faces. Under high loads the thickness of the lubricating film may be reduced as it is forced out from between the sliding surfaces.
