Cast Nylon

Cast Nylon is manufactured by the pressure-less casting process, where the raw material, Caprolactam, is polymerized through a series of chemical reactions. Cast Nylon shows higher molecular weight and higher degree of crystallinity than the extruded PA6. It offers high strength, high toughness, high resistance to wear, impact and fatigue, and good machinability. Since its first introduction in 1950s, Cast Nylon has been widely used for the various applications in many industries.

Applications

Various types of bearing, wheel, gear, sprocket, wear pad, etc

Characteristics

• High Mechanical Strength
• High Chemical Resistance
• High Wear Resistance
• Good Machinability
• Easy Customized Casting

Caution

Cast Nylon exhibits high rate of moisture absorption. In a wet environment, it may result in dimensional changes up to 2% in length.
