Nylon Machining, Fabricating & Distribution

Nylon is one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics. It offers an excellent combination of mechanical performance, toughness, low coefficient of friction, good abrasion resistance and is cost-effective. Nylon is most commonly used as bearings, rollers, food processing machining components, gears, seals and gaskets, and wear pads. It also provides weight and noise reduction, corrosion resistance, and easy machining. Nylon can also be used to replace bronze, brass, steel, and aluminum as well as wood and rubber in engineering applications.

Nylon Features:

• Self-lubricating for superior wear resistance
• Highest wear-resistant thermoplastic available
• Extended part life
• Excellent cost vs. performance ratio value
• Low coefficient of friction
• FDA compliant and glass-filled grades available
