Nylon / Polyamide

This materials is…excellent wearing and very abrasion resistant. Introduced in 1938, and now one of the world’s most recognized plastic materials. Inherently dimensionally stable makes for consistent finished parts. An extremely tough material used in numerous demanding applications (like Carpet fiber and common Rope). A very popular engineering and mechanical plastic for its exceptional physical properties

• Excellent Machining To Tight Tolerances
• Very Low Moisture Absorption
• Dimensionally stable and Low Thermal Expansion
• High Continuous Temperature – 185ºF & 265ºF
• Excellent FR Rating – UL 94 V-1 @ .058? thick
