MC901 nylon is essentially a modified cast nylon and belongs to the high-performance grade within the MC Nylon series.

What is MC901？

MC 901 is a high-performance engineering plastic based on nylon (PA),modified by adding additives(typically lubricating or stabilizing components).

One of its typical features is its blue appearance （Blue Nylon），which makes it easily recognizable in industrial applications.

Key performance characteristics

High wear resistance

More wear-resistant than standard nylon.

Suitable for long-term sliding and friction applications.

Excellent self-lubrication

Low coefficient of friction

Can operate in oil-free or low-lubrication conditions

Excellent mechanical strength

Strength and rigidity are superior to standard PA6

Good impact resistance

Better dimensional stability

Lower water absorption compared to standard nylon

Precision parts are less prone to deformation

Noise reduction performance

Low noise during operation

Often used to replace metal parts

Typical application areas

MC901 is widely used in various industrial applications

Mechanical manufacturing

Gear

Slider

Guide rail

Automation equipment

Conveyor system components

Roller

Food machinery

Low-noise transmission components

Lubrication-free moving components

Automotive industry

Wear-resistant bushing

Lightweight structural components

machining characteristics

There are several key points to note when machining MC 901.

Good Cutting characteristics, allowing easier machining than metals.

Low tendency to tool sticking (better than POM in some cases)

Thermally sensitive (prone to deformation at high temperatures),requiring control of cutting speed, feed rate, and cooling method method.

Recommendation: Use sharp cutting tools, light cutting, multiple passes, and avoid prolonged dry cutting.
