Nylon Rod, Nylon Sheet and Nylon Tubes


These Polyamides, commonly referred to as Nylon and available in Nylon Sheets, Nylon Rod and Nylon Tube and are distinguished by different types. The most common engineering Nylons are PA 6 and PA 66. Nylon stock shapes are produced by either extrusion or casting. The process is in part a determinant of the nylon properties of the end product. Modifiers are added to enhance desirable characteristics.

 

Nylon Advantages:

Nylon Rod, Nylon Sheet and Nylon Tubes are tough, durable, general purpose engineering material with special grades for specialty applications. Typical application conditions would be medium speed and temperature in a rugged, abrasive, impact and high load environment.


Nylon Products:

  • Sustamid 6: Extruded Nylon, PA 6
  • Sustamid 66: Extruded Nylon, PA 66 (Higher mechanical properties and better dimensional stability)
  • Sustamid 6G: Cast Nylon, PA 6 (Similar properties to 66SA)
  • Sustamid 6G HS: Cast Nylon, PA 6 (Heat stabilised)
  • Sustamid 6G OL: Cast Nylon , PA 6 (Oil-Filled, self lubricating)
  • Sustamid 66 GF: Cast Nylon, PA 66 (Glass-filled)
  • Sustamid 66 MO: Extruded Nylon, PA 66 (MoS2 filled)
  • Sustamid 6G M: Cast Nylon, PA 6 (MoS2 filled)
  • Sustamid 46: Extruded Nylon, PA 4.6
  • Sustaglide: Cast Nylon, PA 6 (Lubricating "Matrix" for improved gliding properties)
  • Nylon Sprockets: Reduced chain wear, lightweight with no lubricant required
  • Nylon Gears : Reduced wear on mating gear, lightweight, reduced noise with no lubricant required
