Omniamid OIL (Cast Nylon + Oil)

Overview

OmniAmid OIL is an advanced cast nylon material engineered with a unique oil dispersion system that ensures continuous internal lubrication. This self-lubricating property significantly lowers the coefficient of friction, resulting in quieter, smoother operation and reduced wear over time. It is particularly suited for demanding applications where lubrication is difficult or where parts are in constant motion, helping extend service life and minimize maintenance downtime. With excellent impact resistance, wear resistance and shock absorption, OmniAmid OIL performs reliably even under intermittent loading and dry-running conditions.

Key Features

  • Low coefficient of friction
  • High wear resistance
  • Enhanced impact properties
