Nylacast Oilon
Oilon was a break through of the first magnitude in the
world of cast nylons, developed in the early 70's by Nylacast
Ltd and introduced to the market in 1974.
Oilon was the very first authentic lubricated Nylon having a
blended liquid lubricant system built in during the process
stages, which obviously resulted in a substantial increase in
bearing life, 5 times that of Natural cast nylon and 25 times
that of phosphor bronze! The lubricant contained within
the material will not drain, machine, spin, leech or dry out
and never needs replenishment.
A uniformed distribution of the lubricant throughout the
product guarantees a constant performance over the
whole service life and improvements in rate of wear,
sliding frictional properties, abrasion resistance and stick
slip performance are just a few of the benefits offered by
this material. Oilon has been successful in considerably
enlarging the application possibilities of nylons in many
areas and specifically that of unlubricated moving parts.
Oilon has acquired an unmatchable track record over the
past 20 years and continues to go from strength to strength,
for Nylacast has over this period produced thousands of tons
of Oilon and the trend continues. There have been many
imitators over the years since Oilon has been introduced,
however Oilon has not yet been equalled by its rivals and
remains the premier oil-lubricated nylon available from any
source. Oilon is suitable for use in applications in both the
food and pharmaceutical industries.
