SUSTAMID 6


Semi-crystalline thermoplastic

Properties

  • high absorption of moisture of up to 3 % in standard atmosphere. Results: in increased impact resistance. Please note: In thin-walled parts, reduced mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
  • excellent noise and vibration damping
  • excellent sliding properties
  • high abrasion resistance
  • high mechanical strength coupled with high impact strength
  • excellent machinability
  • good adhesive properties
  • good weldability

Field of application

Universally deployable parts exposed to high loading; frequently used as a substitute for aluminium and bronze.

Mechanical engineering, offshore, vehicle construction, food processing industry

e.g. sliding parts, rollers, bushes, bogies, cable winches, lifting gears, rope pulleys, conveyor stars, spiral conveyors
