Nylon is one of the most widely used and versatile thermoplastic resins. Its combination of physical properties and reasonable price make it
a favorite choice for numerous applications. Nylons toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength and lubricity make it a good choice for many
mechanical machine parts.
Nylon has a consistent history of replacing other materials including: metal, brass, bronze, aluminum and rubber. In replacing metal gears in
machinery, nylon can be advantageous because of its ability to reduce noise, use less lubrication and increase gear life. Nylon can also be
fabricated on most mills with high precision.
Extruded nylon type 6/6 is characterized as having an excellent combination of physical properties including: a high melting point, resistant
to repeated impact, low coefficient of friction and a resistance to abrasion. It has good resistance to fuels, lubricants and most chemicals,
but is attacked by phenols, strong acids and oxidizing agents.
Of all the unmodified nylons, Nylon 101 is the strongest, most rigid and has one of the highest melting points. It is commonly specified for
screw machined electrical insulators and food contact parts. It is stocked in both natural and black. Other colors are available on a custom
basis. Nylon 101 natural is FDA, USDA, NSF, and 3A-Dairy compliant.
