Nylon Sheets

Nylon was the first engineering resin and has been used in applications ranging from electronic, marine, and automotive industries to fibers used to make carpet. Nylon sheet has outstanding wear resistance and low frictional properties.

Nylon has very good temperature, chemical, and impact properties. Parts machined or fabricated from nylon are light weight and corrosion resistant. Low friction, good abrasion resistance and the ability to operate without lubrication, qualify the nylons for such applications. Parts machined or fabricated from cast nylon are light weight and corrosion resistant. In addition, cast nylon's excellent load bearing capability, wear resistance and impact resistance make it ideal for demanding construction environments.

Nylon sheet which has not been compounded with UV stabilizers are sensitive to ultraviolet light. These compounds should not be used for extended outdoor service. Carbonblack (our black Nylon Sheet) is the most effective of the UV stabilizers. These additives also increase tensile strength and hardness and decrease ductility and toughness slightly.

PLEASE NOTE: Nylon sheets, especially thinner gauges, may come in different degrees of wavinees, and we cannot guarantee that they will be completely flat.

FEATURES Good abrasion and wear resistance Continuous use temperature of 220°F Very easy to fabricate Outstanding chemical resistance to alkalies and oxidizing agents High strength and stiffness at elevated temperatures Light weight (approx. 1/8 vs. bronze) Good impact strength at low temperature Low friction coeficient FDA & USDA (Natural)
