Nylon

Extruded Nylon sheets aren’t that different from blank canvases; they can both become anything you want. Nylon parts offer several distinct advantages, and in many cases are a viable alternative to metal. Nylon is one of the most popular machinable plastics due to its unique combination of properties and performance.

Extruded 6/6 Nylon tube is available through tkEP in a variety of shapes and sizes. These tubes are unfilled.

Nylon 6/12 is a good choice for applications where the nylon parts may be exposed to higher temperatures and wet conditions. Although nylon 6/12 has properties that are similar to Nylon 6/6, it has a higher temperature rating and on average a lower water absorption rate than Nylon 6/6.

Nylon tube is available in many dinensions and can be a great choice for gears and bearings.

Noted as one of the original Engineered Plastics, Cast nylon is a standard for numerous industrial applications. Cast nylon is commonly used to make bearings, bushings, washers, seals, gears, guides, rollers, wear plates, fasteners, insulators, forming dies, sleeves, liners, cooling fans and many other parts. Properties of cast nylon 6 include high wear and abrasion resistance, a low coefficient of friction and a high strength to weight ratio.

In addition nylon is corrosion resistant to alkalis and organic chemicals. Cast nylon is typically used in dry environments as it does have some ability to absorb moisture. However, nylon 6/12 is an alternative for wet environments. Overall nylon is non-abrasive, and it is often chosen to replace metal parts because of its noise dampening characteristics. Cast nylon is also a good electrical insulator. Cast nylon is available in sheet, rod, and tube and USDA and FDA compliant grades are available along with filled versions to enhance specific properties.

Cast 6 nylon tubes are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes. These cast nylon tubes come unfilled, oil filled, or MDS filled.

Cast nylon 6 is one of the oldest and most widely used thermoset engineering plastics. Cast nylon 6 is similar to it’s extruded 6/6 counterpart but it does have some difference. Cast nylon 6 is typically less costly to produce. Because of the casting process nylon 6 can also be made into large geometry shapes such as tubes.

The casting process causes less stress than the extruding process which means nylon 6 has better dimensional stability. Cast 6 nylon is often used to make near net shapes. If you are looking for near net shapes or large geometry cast nylon, thyssenkrupp Engineered Plastics is a supplier of CastNylon and Quadrant.
