Nylon. one of the most widely usedengineering thermoplastics. offers anexcellent combination of mechanicalperformance (toughness. lowcoef f icient of f rict ion. and goodabrasion resistance) and cost .

Nylon, Extruded, Type 6/6, UnfilledNylon 6/6 has a much higher melting point, better mechanicalproperties due to greater hardness, and lower waterabsorpt ion than cast nylon.Nylon, Extruded, Type 6/6, MoS2and Kevlar Fiber Filled

This grade has become a st andard t hermoplast ic wear partmaterial for many industries, most commonly used for largeparts (gears, sheaves, sprockets and custom parts) with

improved load bearing capability allowing f or longer part lif e,decreased mat ing component wear, and less down t ime.Nylon, Extruded, Type 6/6, Solid Lubricant FilledThis mat erial is a type 6/6 ext ruded nylon compound withspecial additives offering superior bearing properties.Nylon, Extruded, Type 6/6, Glass FilledNylon 6/6 is very easy t o modify with fillers, f ibers, internallubricants, and impact modifiers. Glass Filled nylon Variants ofthis nylon exhibit increased st ructural and impact st rength, andrigidity.

Nylon, Extruded, Type 6/6, Kevlar Fiber FilledNylon filled with Kevlar aramid f ibers result in a material thatis st rong, tough, and resists wear up to 20 t imes greaterthan nylon alone. This thermoplastic composite outperformsmetals, glass, or ot her reinforced plast ics.Nylon, Cast, Type 6, UnfilledThe cast ing process of cast nylon 6 result s in less st ress thanthe extrusion process, thus providing better dimensionalstability. Nylon 6 exhibits all the properties which generallymake nylon a superior engineering mat erial: high st rength, lowfriction and wear resistance.Nylon, Cast, Type 6, MoS2Filled

Molybdenum disulphide-f illed (MOS2filled) and oil-filled nylons

have enhanced wear propert ies and f illed variants which

increase st ructural and impact st rength and rigidit y or lubricit y.Nylon, Cast , Type 6, Oil FilledThis is a cast nylon with built -in oil lubricat ion. During t hemanufact uring process, oil lubricat ion is completely and evenlydispersed t hroughout the cast nylon, making it an integral partof the materials st ructure that cannot spin out , dry out , ordrain out , even under the harshest working conditions.

Nylon, Cast, Type 6, Glass FilledThe addit ion of glass f ibers to nylon in various amounts (10%,20%, 30% and 40%) increases tensile st rength, stiffness,compressive strength, and a lower thermal expansioncoefficient over conventional unfilled grades.Nylon 101 PA66Of all the unmodified nylons, Nylon 101 is the st rongest , mostrigid and has one of the highest melt ing points. It is commonlyspecified for screw machined electrical insulators and foodcontact parts.

Metal Detectable NylonThis polyamide 6 grade, containing a metal detectableadditive, has been specif ically t ailored f or use in the f oodprocessing and packaging indust ries where it can easily bet raced by the conventional metal detect ion systems installedto detect contaminat ion of the foodstuf fs.Nylon, Extruded, Type 6/12The addit ion of glass f ibers to nylon in various amounts (10%,20%, 30% and 40%) increases tensile st rength, stiffness,compressive strength, and a lower thermal expansion

coefficient over conventional unfilled grades.Nylon HS BlueNylon HS Blue is heat st abilized cast nylon 6, which is easilydist inguished by its dist inct ive blue color. It is manufact uredwith addit ives in the form of high temperature resistantcolorants, U.V. st abilizers, and heat stabilizers which allow HSBlue to retain its properties in applications operating atelevated temperatures. This reduces st ress distort ion thatcan be caused by machining.Nylon Threaded Rod

This t hreaded rod is lightweight, inert , non-toxic, tast eless,weather resistant, non-aging, non-sparking, mechanicallystable, non-flammable and will not support combustion.Maximum t emperature is 200 degrees F. Excellent for use inchemical industry, oil refineries, food processing, and marineapplications.

Nylon has superior temperature, chemical, and impact resistance propert ies.Nylon Parts t hat are machine made or fabricated are light-weight, precise,and corrosion and wear resistant. Reduced f rict ion, very good abrasionresistance and also t he capacity to operate with minimal or no lubricat ion, aresome of the more know features of nylon rods,sheets, or tubes. In addition,you can expect excellent weight and pressure-bearing capability,good wearresistance and a strong impact resistance. This makes it ideal for demandingconstruct ion or indust rial / commercial condit ions.

Nylon sheet that is not compounded with Ultraviolet light stabilizers aresensitive to UV light. These types of chemical substances shouldnt beut ilized f or prolonged outdoor use. If you need nylon that is more ef fect ive forUV exposure, contact Emco Plast ics to learn about your opt ions..
