Product Details

- The 'Work-horse' of Plastics

The most common engineering thermoplastic in use today. Nylon exhibits high strength and toughness making items made from Nylon well suited for engineering components. Nylon is a great substitute for metals because it is wear resistant, has low friction, and is relatively easy to machine.

Nylon is manufactured in several grades:

Type 6 - Higher impact resistance
Type 66 - Better creep resistance
Glass Filled - Higher stiffness, Higher working temperature
GSM M0S2 Graphite - Excellent for load bearing applications
Special Self lubricating - Superior wear resistance

Key Features:

High Impact strength and toughness
High wear resistance
Very good sliding properties
High tensile strength
Excellent bearing properties
Wide variety of grades available
