Nylon is a very hard-wearing material that is commonly used to replace steel, aluminium and other similar materials. It is utilised in applications where the material weight is an issue and where there is either no or low impact involved.
As Nylon is very easy to machine, and so hard wearing, it is ideal for Rollers and Bushes in Conveyors and many other general applications. These sheets are available from 6.0 mm to 100 mm thick. Nylon rods are generally available from 8 mm to 300 mm in diameter.
PA is a kind of thermoplastic engineering plastic material, also can be called Nylon. It is the most important engineering plastic material in the world, and widely used in cars, machinery, electronics, communications-equipment, architecture.
This material is a kind of transparent or semitransparent white crystalline polymer, and has a large range of usage temperature.
There are PA6, PA66 for this material, and PA66 has better properties in mechanical strength, stiffness, heat and abrasion
resistance, size stability.
