Omniacetal (Acetal / POM)
- Good sliding properties, high surface strength and rigidity, low moisture absorption, great dimensional stability
- Resistant to alkali and organic compounds
- It is very easy to machine and offers an excellent surface finish
- Our black and natural POM is Food Safe
- Uses include bearings, guides, gear wheels, fittings, valve and pump components
Omniamid 6G (Cast Nylon Natural)
- Very good wear resistance, even in demanding environments
- It is slightly tougher and harder than the extruded nylon 6
- Like all nylons it is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture) so it has poor dimensional stability
Omniamid HR (Cast Nylon Black)
- The addition of graphite and special lubricant results in properties better than those of the above natural PA6G
- Lower friction coefficient and higher shock resistance
- Applications include large gears, pulleys, sheaves, wheels, rollers, sliding blocks, guides. Resistant to alkali, solvents and inorganic compounds
Omniamid OIL (Green Oil-
- Contains 6% special lubricating oil
- The unique method of production results in micro distribution of the oil particles which is homogenous
- Lowest friction coefficient of all these nylons
- Higher shock resistance and better wear properties
Nylon 6
- This extruded nylon offers a combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness, damping properties and wear resistance
- Omnia Plastica use a high viscosity polymer which results in a product of outstanding quality
- Natural nylon 6 is Food Safe
Nylon 66
- Nylon 66 is more rigid/harder than Nylon 6 and it is much easier to machine on Swiss & Cam automatics
Omnianite (Polyester / PETP)
- Low friction coefficient. High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness with good creep resistance
- Excellent wear resistance (equal to nylon 6)
- Better resistance to acids than nylon and acetal
- Excellent bearing & bushing material
- Like acetal it is very easy to machine
- PETP is Food Safe
HDPE / PE300: High Density Polyethylene
- Good chemical resistance to acids, detergents and hot water
- Very good impact strength and excellent wear resistance, even at low temperatures
- Low friction coefficient
- Food Safe
HMWPE / PE500: High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
- Mol. weight 500,000
- Good chemical resistance and better impact strength than HDPE
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Used for guides, rollers, chopping blocks
- Available in 5 colours, all Food Safe
UHMWPE: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
- PE1000. Mol. weight 5 mil. PE8000 mol. weight 9 mil
- Good chemical resistance
- Excellent abrasion resistance, Superior impact strength and very low friction coefficient
- Operates at temperatures as low as -
200⁰C. PE1000 is widely used in conveyors, bottling and packaging machines - PE8000 is a premium grade lining material, used in heavy duty material handling (eg dump trucks, hoppers, chutes and silos)
- Virgin material is Food Safe
Polypropylene
- High mechanical and tensile strength but low notched impact strength
- Brittle at low temperature. Withstands attack by alkali and acids
- Food Safe
- Used in pumps, valves, tank fabrication, flanges, bushes
PVC
- Flame retardant plastic with excellent chemical resistance, high mechanical strength and low stress cracking
- Poor impact strength
- Used for pump and valve bodies, tank fabrication, galvanic industry
PTFE (Teflon®)
- Best chemical resistance, lowest friction coefficient and high temperature range (-
200⁰C + 260⁰C) - Good dielectric strength
- Excellent weather resistance and insensitive to UV rays
- Poor mechanical properties. Food Safe (non-
toxic) - Used for O-
rings, valve seats, stem seals, gaskets, insulators, guides, bellows
PVDF
- Better tensile strength, mechanical strength and dimensional stability than PTFE
- Excellent chemical resistance and good temperature range (-
30⁰C +150⁰C) - Food safe (FDA compliant) and has a UL94 flammability rating of V.0
- Used as flanges as well as pump and valve components
