Ertalon™ Engineering Plastic Solutions
Ertalon™ is a high-performance nylon brand used in a wide range of industrial applications where wear resistance, toughness, and machinability are important. As a versatile engineering plastic, Ertalon™ is commonly specified for parts that need dependable mechanical performance, dimensional stability, and excellent fabrication characteristics. Piedmont Plastics supplies Ertalon™ materials to support fabricators, engineers, and purchasers seeking a reliable plastic solution for demanding environments.
What Is Ertalon™?
Ertalon™ is a family of nylon-based engineering materials designed for industrial use. Depending on the grade, Ertalon™ may offer a balance of strength, impact resistance, low friction, and good wear properties. These characteristics make it suitable for components that experience repetitive movement, load-bearing conditions, or contact with other mechanical parts.
Because nylon is a widely used engineering thermoplastic, Ertalon™ is often selected for applications requiring a combination of durability and processability. It can be machined into finished parts or components with tight tolerances, making it a practical choice for custom fabrication and production environments.
Common Benefits of Ertalon™
- Good wear resistance for moving parts and abrasion-prone applications
- Strong mechanical performance for industrial components
- Excellent machinability for custom fabricated parts
- Low friction characteristics in many operating conditions
- Useful for replacing metal in certain applications to reduce weight
- Available in grades suited for a variety of end-use requirements
Typical Applications
Ertalon™ is used across many industries where reliable plastic performance is needed. Typical applications may include bushings, bearings, wear pads, rollers, gears, guides, and other machined parts. It is also commonly used in material handling equipment, automation systems, packaging machinery, and general industrial fabrication.
Engineers and fabricators may choose Ertalon™ when they need a material that can help improve equipment performance while supporting efficient manufacturing. Its combination of strength and ease of fabrication makes it a practical option for both prototyping and production runs.
Fabrication and Processing
Ertalon™ can often be cut, routed, drilled, milled, and turned using standard machining methods. This makes it a flexible material for custom parts and replacement components. In many cases, it can also be fabricated to specific thicknesses and dimensions to help meet project requirements.
When selecting a nylon material, it is important to consider environmental conditions, load requirements, moisture exposure, and dimensional tolerance needs. Piedmont Plastics can help customers identify the right Ertalon™ grade for their application and fabrication method.
