Alro Plastics Product: NYLON Family
NYLONS (Cast and Extruded)
 Nylon's
toughness, low coefficient of friction
and good abrasion resistance make it an ideal replacement for a wide variety of materials from metal
to rubber. It weighs only 1/7 as
much as bronze.
Using nylon reduces lubrication requirements, eliminates galling, corrosion and
pilferage problems, and improves wear resistance and
sound dampening characteristics. Nylon has a proven record of outstanding service in a multitude
of parts for such diverse fields as
paper, textiles, electronics, construction, mining, metalworking, aircraft, food and material handling.
Nylon is easily fabricated into precision parts using standard metalworking equipment.
Its good property profile combined with a broad
size range availability have made the material very popular since it was first introduced in nylon
stock shapes in 1946. Today, a
variety of extruded and cast nylon grades are available to match specific application demands.

 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.
