PA6G OL – Polyamide 6 OL

PA6G OL (cast nylon 6, oil-filled) is a cast engineering polyamide modified with added lubricant (typically mineral or synthetic oil), which provides improved sliding properties and a lower coefficient of friction. It is a product specifically designed for applications where higher mechanical stress, dynamic loads, and reduced wear without additional lubrication are required. Due to the added lubricant, it is self-lubricating and has a longer service life compared to standard PA6G.

Main properties:

• Lower coefficient of friction

• Self-lubricating properties (contains oil)

• Very good wear resistance

• Good dimensional stability

• Excellent mechanical properties even under high loads

• High impact resistance

• Reduced need for additional lubrication during operation

Typical applications:

• Chain and belt guides

• Bushings, sliders, bearings without lubrication

• Wheels, gears, rollers

• Machine parts in the textile, paper, and packaging industries

• Conveyor systems (e.g. conveyor belt guides)

• Components for heavy and agricultural machinery
