Natural Nylon 6 sheet

A primary engineering material, suitable for virtually any plain bearing application this unmodified grade, Nylon 6 sheets have similar characteristics to Nylon 66 sheets but with significantly lower stress levels combined with high strength, good creep and wear resistance, heat ageing properties and machinability. The Black sheets offer great dimensional accuracy when machining, improved sliding properties, wear resistance, lower surface friction and enhanced UV resistance over natural.
Natural & Black Nylon 6 has a plus tolerance of +0.5mm - + 2.5mm.

Key Benefits of Nylon

• Universally acknowledged as the primary engineering polymer
• Excellent mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties
• Good PV and load bearing capabilities
• Improved characteristics over extruded polyamides
• Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
• Good dimensional stability, largely free from internal stresses
• FDA compliance
• Available in a wide range of colours to order

Typical Uses

• High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness
• Good fatigue resistance
• High mechanical damping ability
• Good sliding properties
• Excellent wear resistance
• Good electrical insulating properties
• Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays-)
• Good machinability
• Example Applications
• Sleeve and slide bearings, wear pads, support and guide wheels, conveyor rollers, tension rollers, sleeves for wheels and rollers, pulleys and pulley-linings, cams, buffer blocks, hammer heads, scrapers, gear wheels, sprockets seal-rings, feed screws, star wheels, cutting and chopping boards, insulators.
