Nymax™ and Nymax™ REC Formulations
Nymax™ thermoplastics include prime and recycled nylon formulations in both unfilled grades and
with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements.
The portfolio is specifically formulated for
applications requiring high stiffness, tensile properties, heat resistance, impact performance, and durability
in harsh environments while offering the ease of processing in most standard thermoplastic processing
equipment.

EXPLORE WEAR RESISTANCE
LubriOne internally lubricated thermoplastic polymers have been specifically
designed to improve tribological performance in components, offering
low coefficient of friction and improved wear–resistance properties.
These
properties, coupled with a wide array of base engineering thermoplastics,
deliver the distinct benefits of LubriOne:
• Reduced friction and heat buildup between interacting surfaces
• Reduced noise and vibration among components in relative motion
• Reduced weight and improved design freedom
• Lower long–term maintenance costs when grease and other lubricants
are eliminated
