Nylon’s toughness, low coefficient of friction and good abrasion resistance make it an ideal replacement for a wide variety of materials from metal to rubber. Using nylon reduces lubrication requirements, eliminates galling, corrosion and pilferage problems. Nylon also improves wear resistance and sound dampening characteristics. Nylon has a proven record of outstanding service in a multitude of parts for such diverse fields as paper, textiles, electronics, construction, mining, metalworking, aircraft, food and material handling. Today, a variety of extruded and cast nylon grades are available to match specific application demands.
Broadest size range availability
Good mechanical and electrical properties
Ideal balance of strength and toughness
Many grade options: FDA compliant, Internally lubricated, Heat stabilized
Cast as finished parts and near net shapes (Nylon 6)
