Key benefits Applications
NYLATRON 703 XL is already in use in the European, North
American and Asian Market for different applications. One of
these are sliding/wear pads in telescopic crane booms.
NYLATRON 703 XL is there the Nylon material of choice
because of the virtual absence of vibrations during the
movement of the boom resulting in more efficient positioning
of the crane and as an added bonus safer working
standards. In Europe the use of the material has resulted in
the first truly lubrication free crane boom, because of the
elimination of stick-slip.
Other targeted applications are wear pads in conveyor
systems where NYLATRON 703 XL can avoid vibration of
the installation but also reduce operational energy cost. Also
applications in Forestry Equipment, Pneumatic and Electric
controlled sliding pads and special Vehicle construction are
in the reach of the material at the moment.

703 XL

No Stick-Slip
NYLATRON 703 XL is the only nylon with ZERO stick-slip
under all circumstances (fully tested against unpainted
surfaces, but tests and field experience against painted
surfaces show identical results. To be confirmed by actual
testing in the different applications). The ZERO stick-slip
property allows for more precise, more sensitive motion
control, additionally it can increase the overall energy
efficiency of a system.

Lowest coefficient of friction
Comparative tests done by an independent research
institute have established that NYLATRON 703 XL has the
lowest dynamic and static coefficient of friction of any
commercial nylon. NYLATRON 703 XL ensures more
accurate smaller movements by todays sophisticated
control devices or efficiency improvements in the design
of the system.

Best wear performance
The low dynamic coefficient of friction results in good
wear resistance, which reduce or in many cases eliminate
lubrication. NYLATRON 703 XL allows for longer life times
of the components and mating parts.

Excellent mechanical strength to withstand high loads
NYLATRON 703 XL has mechanical properties similar to
other internally lubricated nylons, and the high thermal
resistance as our other cast nylons.

1 ) : According to m ethod 1 of ISO 62 and done on

2 ) : O nly for short tim e exposure (a few hours) in
applications w here no or only a very low load is
applied to the m aterial.
3 ) : Tem perature resistance over a period of
5,000/20,000 hours. After these periods of tim e,
there is a decrease in tensile strength of about 50%
as com pared w ith the original value.
The tem perature values given here are thus based
on the therm al-oxidative degradation w hich takes
place and causes a reduction in properties. N ote,
how ever, that, as for all therm oplastics, the
m axim um allow able service tem perature depends
in m any cases essentially on the duration and the
m agnitude of the m echanical stresses to w hich the
m aterial is subjected.
4 ) : Im pact strength decreasing w ith decreasing
tem perature, the m inim um allow able service
tem perature is practically m ainly determ ined by the
extent to w hich the m aterial is subjected to im pact.
The value given here is based on unfavourable

considered as being the absolute practical lim it.
