Nylon sheet & rod is a common engineering plastic that offers high tensile strength, stiffness and good mechanical properties. It provides moderate resistance to chemicals, is electrically insulating and performs well when exposed to heat for prolonged periods. Nylon is used in a broad range of engineering applications due to its general versatility and ease of machining. We have been supplying offer a selection of grades to suit specific industrial requirements. We can supply a range of nylon, which includes standard engineering grades for use in general purpose machining applications, cast oil filled grades that offer reduced co-efficient of friction and improved resistance to wear, and cast moly filled grades that provide higher load bearing properties.
In comparison to extruded grades, cast nylon sheet is easier to machine and generally offers improved strength, a higher operating temperature and lower moisture absorption.
