Oilon Sheet

Oilon Sheet and block represent a significant performance upgrade compared to natural Nylon 6 and even the black grade. Although Oilon Sheet is essentially Nylon 6, its exceptional qualities stem from a special additive mixed in during the early stages of manufacturing. The key to Oilon Sheet lies in an industrial-grade oil lubricant blended into the material, ensuring a perfectly even distribution throughout the entire structure of the sheet.

Oilon Sheet is easily recognizable by its green colour, with the shade varying from batch to batch, often resembling British Racing Green.

Oilon Sheet has consistently lived up to its reputation, impressing customers during real-life trials and service in harsh and abrasive environments. Its exceptional performance has convinced numerous customers to switch from regular Nylon Sheet to Oilon Sheet. Additionally, Oilon Sheet makes slide blocks much quieter in operation, which has become an unexpected and valuable selling feature.

Oilon Sheet machines similarly to regular Cast Nylon, with the added advantage of the extra lubricant providing some benefits in machining. It is manufactured using the cast process, resulting in an engineering plastic with lower stress levels. Rigorous annealing processes reduce internal stress to a minimum, ensuring that machined components remain stable after the machining process.

The size range for Oilon Sheet is considerable, and even special sizes can be sourced within a few weeks from the factory. With extensive experience in Oilon and all engineering plastics, Direct Plastics maintains substantial Oilon Sheet stock for immediate delivery from its warehouse in Sheffield.
