In many industrial environments, material selection directly impacts performance, longevity, and cost. Components exposed to continuous movement, friction, and load require materials that can maintain stability while minimizing wear. NYLOMOS™, developed by TEPP Plastics, is a MoS₂-filled Nylon 66 (PA66) engineering plastic designed specifically to meet these demands.
What is NYLOMOS™?
NYLOMOS™ is a proprietary engineering nylon material that combines the strength and toughness of Nylon 66 (PA66) with the enhanced performance characteristics of molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂). This formulation improves wear resistance and reduces friction, making it suitable for applications where standard nylon may not provide sufficient durability.
Manufactured into precision coiled nylon strip, NYLOMOS™ offers consistent thickness, reliable dimensional stability, and compatibility with high-volume production processes such as stamping and punching.
Key Performance Benefits
NYLOMOS™ provides several advantages over standard engineering plastics and metal components:
Enhanced wear resistance for longer component life
Reduced friction for smoother operation in moving assemblies
Improved dimensional stability under load and temperature variation
Lightweight alternative to metal for reduced system weight
Consistent performance in high-cycle and automated environments
These properties make NYLOMOS™ particularly effective in applications where reliability and repeatability are critical.
Applications Across Multiple Industries
NYLOMOS™ coiled nylon strip is used across a wide range of industries and applications, including:
Automotive: cable management systems, guides, and wear components
Electronics: insulating strips, harness protection, and structural supports
Aerospace: lightweight strip for assemblies and cable routing
Construction: spacers, protective elements, and wear-resistant guides
General engineering: washers, gaskets, shims, and stamped components
Its versatility allows it to be integrated into both standard and custom-designed components.
Designed for Efficient Manufacturing
One of the key advantages of NYLOMOS™ is its suitability for precision slitting and continuous strip production. Available in coiled form, it supports high-volume manufacturing processes, including:
Progressive stamping
Punching and cropping
Automated assembly operations
This enables manufacturers to reduce material waste, improve production efficiency, and maintain consistent part quality.
Why Choose NYLOMOS™?
Unlike generic Nylon 66 materials, NYLOMOS™ is developed and manufactured in-house by TEPP Plastics, ensuring:
Consistent material quality and traceability
Custom strip dimensions tailored to application requirements
Reliable performance in demanding environments
This level of control allows TEPP Plastics to deliver a material solution that is both technically robust and production-ready.
