About Nylon

Nylon (polyamide) is one of the most widely used engineering plastics. It offers an excellent combination of strength, wear resistance and low friction, making it ideal for bearings, gears, bushings and wear components. Available in cast and extruded grades.

Properties

  • High strength and toughness
  • Low friction — ideal for bearings and slides
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Self-lubricating — reduces need for grease
  • Good chemical resistance

Available Forms

Cast nylon (Nylatron, Sustamid) rod up to 500mm diameter, extruded rod and sheet, tube, and oil-filled grades. Natural, black and blue.
