Engineering Plastics Virgin Nylon Polyamides Sheet is the generic name for a family of long-chain polymeric amides. General characteristics of the nylons include toughness,strength,abrasion and fatigue resistance,low coefficient of friction,resiliency and heat resistance.
Many of these properties can be enhanced by the addition of fillers such as molybdenum disulphide. Nylons are resistant to hydrocarbons,alkalies,ketones and esters.
Nylon is one of the most widely used and versatile thermoplastic resins. Its combination of physical properties versus its price makes it a favorite choice for numerous applications. 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. TECAMID™MDS is an extruded "moly" filled nylon 6/6, which is gray in color. The a…
