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.
