PA – Polyamide
PA 6 G OIL
PA 6 G OIL is a cast polyamide that contains oil as a lubricant. Because of its oil content, the material’s coefficient of friction is up to 50% lower and its wear‑resistance about five times greater than that of standard polyamides. This polyamide is best suited to applications in which the material is subjected to continuous wear. We deliver PA 6 G OIL as plastic sheets and rods and as hollow rods.
