Default Bearing properties of glass-filled nylon

Quick question. Does glass-filled nylon have good bearing properties? I
would have expected its bearing properties to be poor, because wear
would essentially cause particles of sand to break off, but I have been
told otherwise. The product in consideration is a ground nylon piston in
a reamed brass cylinder. A little lubrication, but not a lot. Anyone know?

Many thanks,

Chris
