Cast nylon products like nylon rods, nylon hammer, cast nylon, nylon sheet offer extremely good wear resistance, coupled with high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Cast nylon products like nylon rods, nylon hammer, cast nylon, nylon sheet also has high impact resistance, a high heat distortion temperature, and good resistant to wear, abrasion, and vibration. In addition, cast nylon can sustained contact with a wide variety of chemicals, alkali, dilutes acids or oxidizing agents. Another important factors, both economically and mechanically, is the relatively lighter weight of cast nylon (approximately 1/8 the weight of bronze, 1/7 the weight of the cast iron, and 1/2 the weight of aluminum), which reduces both the inertial and static loads and eases the handling of large components during maintenance or replacement procedures.
Availability:
Cast nylon materials are available in the forms of stock-shapes like round, rectangular, square bars, tubes, blocks, sheets and in finished molded & machined components as per client specifications.
