Nylasint®

Nylasint® is an open-porous, sintered thermoplastic speciality material based on polyamide, which is characterised by a particularly low specific weight and relatively high mechanical strength.

Due to its open-cell structure and chemical composition, Nylasint® can absorb liquids containing oil and release them evenly over a longer period of time. For this reason, Nylasint® is used in particular as a body for so-called Ink rolls in high-speed printing units, e.g. for labelling packaging with expiry dates.

Due to its comparatively high mechanical strength, Nylasint® is also used for oil-impregnated, self-lubricating sliding elements or ball bearing cages, such as those found in long-running, technically self-sufficient systems, e.g. space satellites.

Only the material type Nylasint® 64 HV is currently available as standard. This type offers the following advantages:

• Open-porous structure
• Capable of absorbing oil-containing media
• High compressive strength
• Good machinability
• complies with BAe Material Specification MS 1007

Nylasint® is available as a machined finished part or fully assembled ink roll and - with restrictions - also as a semi-finished product or blank.
