Nylon

Scientific name:
Polyamides (PA)
Available in:
Sheet, Rod, Tube
Types:

Nylon 6SA - General purpose grade, available in natural (cream) (thinner sheet &rod) and black (rod only).
Nylon 66SA - Higher mechanical properties & dimensional stability. Available in natural (cream) in smaller rod sizes.
Nylon 6PLA - Cast nylon grade similar to 6SA. Available in natural (cream) in sheet plus larger rod & tube sizes.
Nylon 4/6 - Superior thermal resistance. Red/brown colour. Available in limited rod & sheet sizes.
Nylon GF30 - 30% glass fibre filled to give improved strength, stiffness, creep resistance, dimensional stability & thermal resistance. Black rod only.
Nylon 6XAU - Heat stabilised cast nylon with better creep, wear & thermal resistance. Black colour; available in sheet plus larger rod & tube sizes.
Nylon LFX - Self lubricating grade with low co-efficient of friction and exceptional wear resistance. Green colour; available in sheet plus larger rod & tube sizes.
