Product Description
Nylatron GSM Blue nylon is the first cast nylon to combine both molybdenum disulfide and oil for the load capability of Nylatron GSM nylon, plus improved frictional characteristics. It excels in higher pressures, and at low speeds- up to 40 fpm. It offer 20% lower coefficient of friction, 50% greater limiting PV, and a lower "k" factor than Nylatron GSM, and the lowest "slip-stick" of any nylon product. It is ideal for slide pads, thrust washers and trunion bearings. Nylatron GSM blue should be considered for any oil-filled nylon application. It is dark blue in color.
