Tecast™ (cast nylon) is available in a variety of grades and offers a combination of good mechanical properties, excellent bearing and wear characteristics, and the large-size capabilities of the casting process. Its fatigue resistance, noise damping ability, corrosion resistance, and light weight make Tecast™ ideal for metal replacement applications, such as bearings, gears, sheaves, and sprockets. Tecast™ has excellent wear and abrasion resistance, resulting in extended component life and lower maintenance costs. Its formulations are readily available in rod, plate, and tube. Tecast™ 6PA Natural – FDA compliant cast type 6 nylon for use in applications requiring cast nylon advantages without fillers Tecast™ 6PA Black – a black cast type 6 nylon that is more UV resistant than 6PA natural Tecast™ 6PA Blue – a blue cast type 6 nylon with properties similar to 6PA natural Tecast™ 6PAM – a molybdenum disulfide-filled cast type 6 nylon used for general bearings and wear applications because of its superior strength and hardness Tecast™ 6PAG – a graphite powder-filled cast type 6 nylon with properties similar to 6PAM but better suited to wet applications Tecast™ 6XAU – a high heat (up to 260 °F continuous), weather resistant cast type 6 nylon with superior fatigue resistance and bearing properties Tecast™ 6PAL – an oil-filled cast type 6 nylon used in applications requiring excellent bearing and wear properties where external lubrication is difficult or impractical
Available Sizes ROD Lengths: 4’ for 2” to 8” DIA., 12’ for 9” to 20” DIA. PLATE Plate Sizes: 1/4” to 4” thickness inclusive are: 2’ x 4’ 4’ x 4’ 4’ x 8’ 3/8” also available in 4’ x 8’
