Find your industry ➔
AustLon® (PA6 G) is a high grade engineering plastic manufactured exclusively by McNeall Plastics, a wholly owned Australian company.
An engineering plastic used in a vast number of industries for its superior mechanical, physical, chemical and electrical properties, it is replacing aluminum, copper, bronze, steel, brass and other metals in many applications with superior advantages.
AustLon® (PA6 G) is a monomer cast nylon produced by a unique process known as activated anionic adiabatic polymerisation. This method of nylon production results in a highly crystalline engineering plastic, which means a tougher, wear resistant engineering plastic. AustLon® (PA6 G) is the preferred material where issues stemming from abrasive wear, impact strength, bearing strength, noise, weight and corrosion have been difficult to resolve.
AustLon® (PA6 G) provides superior performance — with and without lubrication — in a range of applications, in particular as a bearing material. AustLon® (PA6 G) is lightweight, offers extremely good wear and abrasion resistance, high mechanical strength and high modulus of elasticity when compared to other industrial plastics.

Weight advantage 1/7 that of steel and less than ½ of aluminium.
Excellent resistance to weather and UV degradation, making AustLon® a great option for corrosive environments, e.g. marine, enabling little or no ongoing maintenance.
AustLon® offers chemical resistance to many chemicals.
Elastic properties enable AustLon® to rebound without effect, even with loads of 2½ timesthe maximum stress level.
Internal dampening property of AustLon reduces noise.
Lower costs due to shorter machining time and rising metal prices.
