Nylatron GSM vs Aluminium, Nylon,PVC or Delrin

Triton

allo ....

I ve been looking for an alternative to Aluminiums,PVC or Delrins.
has anyone used ''Nylatron GSM'' for a canister, handset or other water-proof projects ?

Nylatron GSM seems to be a better choice than Nylon,PVC or Delrin, on paper (see atached pdf)

This Nylatron GSM is a material used to make bushes, gears, sprockets etc, in the ship building industry(loyds approved)
It is light, pretty scratchproof, more impact resistant than PVC, works till -30degC a dream to work with and Pretty damn expensive too at around the same price for Aluminium 6061( ROD od 75mm costs $3/cm )
Supplier says it is ''superior to delrin'' but suppliers also say many things and other opinions always helps, right ?

After what I learned from vixen's delrin incident, my main concern is water absorption (65ml/24hrs) and porosity. Other than this, NylatronGSM looks and feels wicked !!


Machinists, engineers, DiYers, material freaks and other hybrids of deepdiving junkies, I would greatly appreciate your feedback

It is just a nylon resin with molydenum disulphide particles as a lube mixed in....that is the only reason why it is used in moving parts applications.

Lloyds approval is meaningless.

Waste of $ if you ask me.....
