Product Detail nylon sheet

 Nylon (nylon sheet or rod ) is a strong, versatile engineering thermoplastic widely used for machined parts in industrial applications due to its excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal performance. Available in cast and extruded sheet and rod forms, Nylon is ideal for load-bearing, high-friction environments. 

Key Properties

• Density: ~1.14–1.16 g/cm³
• Working Temperature: -40°C to +100°C continuous
• Tensile Strength: ~8,000–12,000 psi
• Hardness: Rockwell R110 (varies by grade)
• Moisture Absorption: ~0.7% (dry), up to 8% (saturated)
• Coefficient of Friction: ~0.25
• Grades: Nylon 6, Nylon 6/6, Cast Nylon, Oil-Filled, Glass-Filled

Common Applications

• Gears, sprockets, bushings, and pulleys
• Wear pads, guide rails, and bearings
• Structural spacers and load-bearing blocks
• Conveyor and handling components
• Custom-machined mechanical parts
• Electrical insulators and housings

Benefits

• High Mechanical Strength: Excellent load-bearing capacity
• Wear Resistant: Good sliding properties for dynamic parts
• Self-Lubricating Grades Available: (e.g. oil-filled Nylon)
• Excellent Machinability: Tolerates high-speed cutting, tapping, and drilling
• Vibration Dampening: Reduces mechanical noise and shock
• Thermal Stability: Performs well in mid-temperature ranges
• Chemical Resistance: Resists oils, greases, hydrocarbons, and most alkalis
