PA6 MO (MoS₂) – Polyamide 6 MoS₂

PA6 MOS2 (Polyamide 6 with the addition of molybdenum disulphide – MoS₂) is a modified structural engineering plastic material based on standard PA6, but with the addition of the solid lubricant molybdenum disulphide. This additive significantly improves wear resistance, reduces friction and increases dimensional stability, while maintaining most of the mechanical properties of the base PA6.

Main properties:

• Improved wear and friction resistance due to the addition of MoS₂

• Self-lubricating properties, suitable for applications without additional lubrication

• Good mechanical strength and rigidity

• Reduced moisture absorption compared to unfilled PA6

• Higher dimensional stability

• Good thermal resistance (continuous use up to approx. +100 °C, short-term up to +160 °C)

• Lower sensitivity to deformation caused by moisture

Typical applications:

• Guides, bushings, gears, rollers and sliding elements

• Parts in linear guides and belt conveyors

• Components for agricultural, transport and automotive industries

• Machined parts where a balance between strength and reduced friction is required

Standards and classifications:

• DIN: PA6G + MoS₂

• ISO: Polyamide 6 + MoS₂

• EN: PA6 MoS₂

• ASTM: Type 6 Nylon with molybdenum disulphide

• In accordance with RoHS, often not FDA approved due to the addition of MoS₂

• Processing compliant with standards for machining technical plastics
