Sustaglide® (Self-Lubricating PA)

Polyamide (Self-Lubricating)

Standards: ISO 1874

RoHS REACH

Overview

Sustaglide® is a self-lubricating polyamide with extremely low coefficient of friction, combining the structural properties of cast nylon with PTFE-like sliding characteristics. Used for dry-running bearings, bushings, guides and wear pads where lubrication is not possible.
