Product Description

What is Cast Nylon

Cast nylon is a type of polyamide usually Nylon 6 or Nylon 612 produced via a casting process Unlike extruded nylon cast nylon is formed by a controlled chemical reaction in a mold which allows for larger shapes and improved crystallinity

Key properties

High mechanical strength

Excellent wear and abrasion resistance

Low coefficient of friction

Good chemical resistance

Selflubricating in some forms

Can be enhanced with additives eg molybdenum disulfide for better wear resistance
