Win big in Vegas with proven materials technology

Focusing on solving current problems and eliminating future challenges, Nylacast work closely with blue chip companies and equipment manufacturers to further enhance their products and customer offering, through the use of engineering polymers over traditional materials such as steel, iron or bronze.

The inherent properties of Nylacast's plastics allow them to deliver a number of advantages ranging from light weight (1/7th of steel) and low friction, through to self-lubrication and chemical resistance. The arduous environments faced within the construction sector can greatly benefit from these advantages. With products ranging from wear pads providing increased life span and eliminated maintenance need, through to super strength crane pads with greater recovery and longevity than industry-standard materials.

Advantages and benefits gained from using Nylacast plastics are often multiplied on one project. Take, for instance, a simple hose clamp often found on many pieces of industry equipment. Made from steel the clamp would still work effectively by holding the multiple hoses on place. Made from a Nylacast plastic, the clamp still performs its core function however it is now seven times lighter, corrosion resistant and self-coloured, the latter two advantages resulting in the elimination of any maintenance. Importantly, the first advantage of lightweight resulting in overall increased fuel efficiency, with multiple hose clamps on one piece of equipment weighing up to seven times less.

This example can be applied to endless applications in the industry, delivering the opportunity for equipment manufacturers to strengthen their products whilst reducing whole-life costs.

Nylacast will have a team of dedicated industry engineers on booth G-73107 at Conexpo who will be available to discuss specific project or product ideas, needs and requirements. Conexpo will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Centre from the 7th to the 11th of March 2017. For further information on Nylacast please visit www.nylacast.com.
