MAGNETHANE™ NBN
"No Break Nylon" Compound
Metal Detectable Plastic Products
MAGNETHANE™ NBN is a food approved blue nylon engineered plastic, which is specially
compounded with the same magnetic signature properties as the polyurethane version of MAGNETHANE BELTING. This nylon material
is a highly wear and fatigue resistant polymer, which has excellent physical properties for bearings and wear components
used in food processing and packaging machinery. It is easily machined and has excellent dimensional stability for parts
requiring close tolerances and mating surfaces.

The magnetic signature of this plastic, will allow it to be seen by most metal detection and X-Ray devices used on packaging
and production lines. The mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties remain unchanged in comparison to standard
Nylon plastics.
| Typical Applications Include |
| Bushings | Bearings | Guides |
| Pillow Blocks | Slide Gates | Rollers |
