Nylene^® BX3LF

TDS Ref ID: 1285
Product is manufactured in Arnprior, ON
Web: www.nylene.com | Email: info@nylene.com

Resin Type:

Nylon 6

Characteristics:

Heat Stabilizer
Internally Lubricated

Colors/Forms:

Pellets

Description:

BX3LF is processed under regular conditions
Medium Viscosity - low friction
Specialty Lubricant added to the polymer matrix to provide reduced surface friction for easier installation characteristics
BX3LF's end product has a transparent appearance which leaves your sequential footage indicators readable. BX3LF can be applied to all THHN institutional, commercial and industrial applications.
BX3LF is a self-lubricated polymer and has been developed to reduce the coefficient of friction which eliminates the need for additional lubrication in feeder-size THHN.
This self-lubricated polymer is a benefit to the Electrical contractors as it reduces labour costs associated with lubrication, it doesn't leave a messy residue on your hands, pulls faster, easier, cleaner, it's safer and will reduce nylon tear.
