Nylon Rod, Nylon Sheet & Nylon Tubes


These polyamides, commonly referred to as nylon and available in nylon sheets, nylon rod & 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.
