Nylon Cast Type 6 Sheet Description
Nylon, known for its strength, stiffness, and excellent bearing and wear properties, is a highly versatile engineering plastic. Frequently used to replace metal bearings and bushings, nylon often eliminates the need for external lubrication. Additional benefits include reduced part weight, lower operating noise, and decreased wear on mating parts.
Cast Nylon Type 6 sheets are machinable, wear-resistant, and offer superior heat deflection, solvent resistance, and hydroscopic characteristics compared to extruded Nylon 6/6 sheets. They are easier to machine and provide better dimensional stability than standard-grade nylon. With a naturally slippery surface that reduces friction, these sheets are ideal for manufacturing gears, sprockets, and wear strips. Cast Nylon Type 6 has up to 20 times the wear resistance of standard nylon, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications.
