Nylatron® 4.6 Polyamide PA46 / Ertalon® 4.6 Polyamide PA46 shapes are characterized by their superior heat aging resistance, as well as their ability to retain their outstanding stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures. Due to these unique capabilities, Nylatron® 4.6 PA46 / Ertalon® 4.6 PA46 components excel in extreme environments where PA6, PA66, POM, and PET materials typically fall short. Additional application examples for Nylatron® 4.6 PA46 / Ertalon® 4.6 PA46 include bushings, bearings, gears, pulleys, sheaves, wear pads, valve seats, seals, and conveyor wear components.

Ertalon® 6 SA Polyamide PA6 FG (Food Grade) exhibits a great combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping properties, and creep and wear resistance. In addition to these characteristics, this particular grade possesses excellent electrical insulating properties and outstanding chemical resistance capabilities. Due to these properties, and this grade’s FDA (21 CFR § 177.1500) and EU 10/2011 food compliancy, Ertalon 6SA FG is often specified for screw machined electrical insulators, bushings, bearings, gears, roller wheels, star wheels, and seals.

Ertalon® 6 SA Polyamide PA6 exhibits a great combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping properties, and creep and wearresistance. In addition to these characteristics, this particular grade possesses excellent electrical insulating properties and outstanding chemical resistance capabilities. For these reasons, Ertalon® 6 SA PA6 is often referred to as a "general purpose" grade for mechanical construction and maintenance applications.

Ertalon® 6 XAU+ Polyamide PA6 is a heat stabilized cast nylon grade, with a very dense and highly crystalline structure. When compared to conventional extruded or cast nylons, Ertalon® 6 XAU+ PA6 offers superior heat aging performance in air, which allows this material to exhibit higher continuous service temperatures. Due to these characteristics, Ertalon® 6 XAU+ PA components are often recommended for bearings and other mechanical parts that are subject to wear, and that are operating for long periods of time at temperatures over 60° C / 140° F.

Nylatron MC 907 Polyamide PA6 FG (Food Grade) / Ertalon 6PLA Polyamide PA6 FG (Food Grade) unmodified shapes offer the highest strength and hardness of all nylon 6 grades, and also exhibit great creep and wear resistance, heat aging properties, and machinability capabilities. Due to this grade’s FDA (21 CFR § 177.1500) and EU 10/2011 food contact compliancy, Nylatron MC 907 PA6 FG / Ertalon 6PLA PA6 FG components can be found throughout the food processing and packaging industry as gears, rollers, wheel, bearings, and conveyor wear parts.

Ertalon® LFX Polyamide PA6 internally lubricated shapes were specifically formulated for unlubricated, highly loaded, and slowly moving parts applications. This grade in particular displays high mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness, and toughness, great sliding properties, high mechanical damping capabilities, and exceptional electrical insulating properties. For these reasons, Ertalon® LFX PA6 components are often favored as a solution within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical, and processing markets.
