Hydlar combines the properties of nylon with the wear resistance of Kevlar Aramid fiber. The composite material is strong, tough and resists wear—up to 20 times greater than nylon alone. The Kevlar also eliminates galling of mating surfaces and provides excellent flexural and tensile strength. Hydlar outperforms metals, glass or other reinforced plastics.
Hydlar is a thermoplastic composite reinforced with Kevlar aramid fiber. There are two grades available: Hydlar Z (nylon/Kevlar composite) and Hydlar G (PPS/Kevlar composite.
Key Properties
Hydlar possesses a combination of physical properties that cannot be found in any other commercially available product. Using Hydlar composites, design engineers have created a new family of superior wear and abrasion resistant thermoplastics to choose from.

Ordinary thermoplastic composites attain low wear rates by using reinforcement that adds to their strength and/or stiffness. But most, however, also show correspondingly high abrasiveness to counter surface. Hydlar thermoplastic composites are the exception. Hydlar's tough, strong reinforcing material makes the end product extremely wear resistant without excessive galling to mating wear surface. In addition Hydlar improves mechanical properties and increases surface temperature capabilities.
HYDLAR possesses a combination of physical properties that cannot be found in any other commercially available engineered plastic. Design engineers have created a family of superior wear and abrasion resistant thermoplastics using aramid fiber reinforcement.
Applications
HYDLAR is applicable to a wide variety of industrial applications where high strength, extreme wear resistance and low abrasiveness are required.Typical applications would be wear strips, bearings, bushings, rollers, gears and whereverwear and abrasion resistant materials are required. The properties of Hydlar make it ideal for pulleys, bearings, casters, rollers, high-strength wheels, and aerospace and automotive applications.
THREE GRADES AVAILABLE
HYDLAR Z (NYLON/KEVLAR COMPOSITE)
HYDLAR ZT ( NYLON/KEVLAR/TEFLON COMPOSITE), Provides increased wear and lubricity.
HYDLAR ZM (NYLON/KEVLAR/MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE COMPOSITE) Offers improved surface hardness, increased wear and lubricity.
Hydlar Z
Hydlar Z is a Kevlar fiber reinforced Nylon 6/6. With the addition of Kevlar, Hydlar Z's properties improve, better dimensional stability is achieved and wear resistance is increased ten times that of unfilled nylon. Hydlar possesses a combination of physical properties that cannot be found in any other commercially available engineered plastic. Hydlar Z is a composite of nylon and Kevlar. It is the basic and most common form of Hydlar available. Hydlar Z is not FDA, USDA or 3A-Daiary compliant.
Hydlar Z material combines the properties of Nylon with the strength and wear resistance of Kevlar aramid fibers. The resulting material is strong, tough, and has excellent wear resistance --- up to 20 times that of standard nylon. This material is available in rod and sheet forms only.
Hydlar ZT
Hydlar ZT contains a small amount of PTFE for increased lubricity, making the product more wear-resistant. (Custom run minimum).Hydlar ZT has the added benefit of a small amount of PTFE added for increased lubricity (lower friction) resulting in improved wear resistance.
Hydlar ZM
Hydlar ZM contains a small amount of Molybdenum Disulphide for greater surface hardness, greater lubricity and improved wear-resistance. (Custom run minimum). Hydlar ZM has the added benefit of a small amount of Molybdenum Disulphide added for improved surface hardness and increased lubricity (lower friction) resulting in improved wear resistance.
