Food Grade Stock Shapes

ZL engineering plastics, Inc. introduced ZL™ 1100 T - FG (food grade). It is the first commercially available solid lubricant filled cast nylon 6 that is also FDA compliant. Parts machined from these stock shapes provide a continuously lubricated surface that is ideal for applications where maintenance greasing is difficult or impossible. The material is manufactured with proprietary solid lubricant additives that improve the nylon’s wear resistance and provide a low coefficient of friction. In addition, it offers improved sliding properties and better machinability than standard grades.

Typical applications include bearings, bushings, gears and wear pads. The material is inventoried in rod from 2” diameter to 4” diameter and inventories plate from 3/8” to 2” thick. It is white in color.
