Devlon
Devlon is a range of high-performance engineering plastics derived from Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, known for their toughness, wear resistance, and low coefficient of friction. Devlon products are widely used in industries where mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and durability are required. They are available in various grades, each tailored for specific applications.
Available variations include: Devlon V-API: Enhanced for low friction and high wear resistance in valve applications. Devlon S: Offers superior resistance to hydrolysis and is suitable for subsea applications. Devlon T: Optimized for applications where low friction and high mechanical strength are required.
