Westley Plastics has also developed its own range of specialist materials, Westlon designed and engineered to offer superior performance over standard engineering plastics. These have been specifically developed to suit certain material property requirements and applications.
All these materials are designed, tested and certified in our UK facility, making the Westlon range unique to Westley Plastics. Our Westlon range is detailed below and material data sheets are available on request.
Westlon T is our high impact nylon offering excellent impact strength as well as improved wear properties. Typical applications include piling dollies, block systems and RunFlat systems.
Westlon T improves the impact strength of nylon, designed for applications that require high stress/impact resistance and noise deadening. Westlon T also offers excellent wear properties and good chemical resistance.
Westlon T is suited to applications including piling dollies, support rollers and our block system. This high impact nylon (Westlon T) is available in a variety of colours and can be provided as plate, rod, tubes or as fully machined components.
Westlon M is our oil filled nylon offering a self-lubricating material, whilst retaining its excellent mechanic properties. Typical applications include thrust collars, wear strips and wear pads.
Westlon M significantly improves the wear resistance of nylon, whilst still keeping its excellent mechanical performance. Oil is added during the manufacturing process meaning the lubrication system is in-built and dispersed evenly throughout the material. This makes it perfect for un-lubricated, highly loaded and slow moving applications, as typically no other lubrication is required.
Typical applications include wear strips, wear pads, thrust collars and guides. This oil filled nylon (Westlon M) can be provided as plate, rod, tubes or as fully machined components.
Westlon 6 is our proprietary nylon material offering excellent mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties. Typical applications include sheave wheels, clamps and crane pads.
Westlon 6 is suitable for a wide range of applications including sheave wheel, clamps, crane pads, mandrel segments, bearing rings and bushes.
Westlon 6 is available in a wide range of colours and can be provided as plate, rod, tubes or as fully machined components.
Westlon GL is our glass filled nylon offering an extremely hard wearing and stable material. Typical applications include wear strips and wear pads.
Westlon GL is our glass reinforced nylon, which is extremely hard wearing and adds additional stability and rigidity. Glass is added early during the manufacturing process to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the material.
Typical applications include gears, wear strips and wear pads. This hard-wearing nylon (Westlon GL) can be provided as plate, rod, tubes or as fully machined components.
All our materials are available in a variety of colours and can be provided as plate, rod, tubes or as fully machined components.
