Description
Nylon is one of the oldest and most widely used engineered mechanical plastics. Its combination of toughness, dimensional stability, wear resistance, availability, and versatility make it a natural choice for informed engineers looking to improve their project. Nylon cast rod has served well in replacing many metals and offers a design choice when noise reduction and long life are important. Nylon is a tough, stable engineering thermoplastic with a high modulus of elasticity, high strength, good rigidity, dimensional stability, resistance to moisture, solvents and other chemicals.
- Low co-efficient of friction
- High modulus of elasticity
- High strength
- Resistant to chemicals and moisture
- High rigidity and dimensional stability
