Nylon. one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics. offers an excellent combination of mechanical performance (toughness. low coefficient of friction. and good abrasion resistance) and cost.
|
|
Nylon 6/6 has a much higher melting point, better mechanical properties due to greater hardness, and lower water absorption than cast nylon.
|
|
|
This grade has become a standard thermoplastic wear part material for many industries, most commonly used for large parts (gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts) with improved load bearing capability allowing for longer part life, decreased mating component wear, and less down time.

|
This material is a type 6/6 extruded nylon compound with special additives offering superior bearing properties.
|
|
|
Nylon 6/6 is very easy to modify with fillers, fibers, internal lubricants, and impact modifiers. Glass Filled nylon Variants of this nylon exhibit increased structural and impact strength, and rigidity.
|
|
|
Nylon filled with Kevlar® aramid fibers result in a material that is strong, tough, and resists wear - up to 20 times greater than nylon alone. This thermoplastic composite outperforms metals, glass, or other reinforced plastics.

|
The casting process of cast nylon 6 results in less stress than the extrusion process, thus providing better dimensional stability. Nylon 6 exhibits all the properties which generally make nylon a superior engineering material: high strength, low friction and wear resistance.

|
|
Molybdenum disulphide-filled (MOS2 filled) and oil-filled nylons have enhanced wear properties and filled variants which increase structural and impact strength and rigidity or lubricity.
|
|
|
This is a cast nylon with built-in oil lubrication. During the manufacturing process, oil lubrication is completely and evenly dispersed throughout the cast nylon, making it an integral part of the material's structure that cannot spin out, dry out, or drain out, even under the harshest working conditions.

The addition of glass fibers to nylon in various amounts (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) increases tensile strength, stiffness, compressive strength, and a lower thermal expansion coefficient over conventional unfilled grades.
