Nylatron is a tradename for a family of nylon plastics, typically filled with molybdenum disulfide lubricant powder. It is used to cast plastic parts for machines, because of its mechanical properties and wear-resistance.
PTFE (polytetrefluoroethylene) is a soft, low friction fluoropolymer with outstanding chemical and weathering resistance. PTFE is stable at temperatures up to 500oF and it is often used in high temperature environments. PTFE also has excellent electrical insulating properties.
