- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a broad range of engineering and industrial applications, from automotive components to industrial machinery.
Nylon, known chemically as polyamide (PA), is available in various grades, each designed to meet specific performance criteria. Our nylon cast materials, often referred to as Nylon 6, are produced through a liquid casting process, allowing for the creation of custom, near-net shapes. This process is particularly cost-effective for producing large, thick sections of nylon. On the other hand, our extruded nylon materials, such as Nylon 6/6, are manufactured by melting and extruding the polymer, which is ideal for producing smaller diameter rods, tubes, and sheets with consistent quality.
Applications of Nylon Cast and Extruded Materials:
- Automotive Industry: Used in manufacturing durable parts like gears, bushings, and engine components, thanks to its high melting point and strength.
- Aerospace Sector: Ideal for lightweight and high-strength components that can withstand extreme temperatures and mechanical stress.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Commonly used in machinery for making parts like sprockets, augers, and rollers due to its excellent wear resistance.
- Medical and Healthcare: Suitable for producing components that require precise tolerances and are safe for contact with various chemicals.
- Food and Beverage: FDA-compliant grades are used in food processing and packaging applications due to their safe, non-toxic properties.
