Plate nylon 6 Nylacast PA 6 Natural

rodtube

Cast Nylons are a range of polyamides produced by a casting process involving the anionic polymerisation of caprolactam. This process allows the production of semifinished plate, rod, tube and custom castings that are largely free of internal stresses. Nylacast PA 6 Natural (also available in black) is the basic PA 6 grade from which all the other grades of cast nylon stem. Generally accepted as the primary engineering polymer, natural cast nylon is suitable for virtually any plain bearing application, not to mention a huge range of other applications for which this versatile grade finds a use. By varying the conditions of polymerisation the mechanical properties of cast nylon may be altered to suit specific applications and the performance of the basic polymer can be enhanced with the addition of various additives, fillers, lubricants and colourants (see further grades). Compared with injection moulding and extrusion grades of polyamide, cast nylons stand out with their improved mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties.
