Kestamid® is also known as
Cast Polyamide or Cast Nylon. Kestamid® is an engineering plastic used commonly in all industrial branches for its
superior mechanical, physical, chemical and electrical properties. It is
replacing aluminum,
copper, bronze, steel, fiber, brass and other metals in many
applications with superior advantages. It is cheaper,
lighter, harder and more durable than these metals. In terms of
cost, Kestamid® is 1/7th of bronze, 1/5th of copper and 1/3rd of brass.
As its density is low, purchase
and delivery costs become less. Using
Kestamid®
instead of metal components helps push selling price and delivery
cost down.
It contributes significantly to the final producer in
reducing costs and increasing market share. As
it does not require lubrication, maintenance costs are also reduced to a minimum.
High wear and impact resistances
make Kestamid® durable.
Taking its operational life into consideration, the
advantages and superiorities of Kestamid®
compared to the above-mentioned metals become even more obvious. Kestamid® is a “fix and forget”
type of material.
It is possible to produce steel bush core gears, pulleys and mixer
fans or produce cylinders with steel axis by making use of
techniques specific to the production of Kestamid®
combined with the
mechanical resistance of metals.
