GARFLON NYLON RODS, BUSHES & MACHINERY PARTS

Extruded nylon rods

Garflon Nylon Rods, Bushes and Machinery parts are characterized by a combination of high strength, toughness and abrasion resistances. Other advantages are low weight, non-corrosive, low co-efficient of friction, true self lubricating effect, vibration and noise damping etc. Parts fabricated out of Garflon Nylon replace metal parts such as bushes, bearings, slide plates, gears, gear racks, wear plates, washers, gaskets, seals, slipper pads for rolling mills, liners, wheels, sheaves, pulleys, ropeways tyres, rollers etc. which were original fabricated out of phosphor-bronze, gun metal, brass, white metal steel or other expensive metals.

GRADES AVAILABLE

Garflon 202 : Extruded nylon 6 suitable for general purpose end uses. Off-white colour.
Garflon 202 MO : Extruded nylon 6 with controlled quantity of MOS₂ (Molybdenum Di-Sulphide) to enhance sliding (wear) and self lubricating properties. Better outdoor performance is achieved (UV radiation). Black/Grey colour.
