Description
Nylon Extruded Type 6/6 Sheet Description
Nylon is a strong, stiff engineering plastic with outstanding bearing and wear properties. Nylon is frequently used to replace metal bearings and bushings, often eliminating the need for external lubrication. Other benefits include a reduction in part weight, less operating noise, and decreased wear on mating parts.
Extruded Nylon Type 6/6 sheets offer excellent wear resistance and low frictional properties. These sheets have very good temperature, chemical, and impact resistance. Parts machined or fabricated from Nylon are lightweight and corrosion-resistant. The low friction, good abrasion resistance, and the ability to operate without lubrication make Nylon ideal for a wide range of applications. It's important to note that Nylon sheets that have not been compounded with UV stabilizers are sensitive to ultraviolet light and should not be used for extended outdoor service.
Wear-resistant Nylon sheets and bars are made from strong and stiff engineering-grade plastic with exceptional bearing and wear properties. Molybdenum disulphide-filled (MOS2) and oil-filled nylons have enhanced wear properties that eliminate the need for external lubrication. Nylon's physical properties include exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. Its high melting temperature makes it an ideal substitute for metals in high-temperature applications. Nylon is commonly used in automotive parts, machine screws, bushings, gears, and electrical connectors.

Maintenance
Maintenance
Nylon fibers are exceptionally strong, elastic, and abrasion-resistant. They are also very easy to wash, producing smooth and long-lasting fabrics. To maintain the integrity and appearance of Nylon sheets, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean Nylon surfaces.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Dry the surface with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.
- If needed, apply a nylon-safe polish to restore the sheen and protect the surface.
With proper care, Nylon sheets will maintain their performance and appearance for years to come.
