CAST NYLON Colored Sheets with high quality
Nylon is one of the most widely used and versatile thermoplastic resins. Its combination of physical properties and reasonable price make it a favorite choice for numerous applications. Nylons toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength and lubricity make it a good choice for many mechanical machine parts.
Cast Nylon exhibits all the properties which generally make nylon a superior engineering material: high strength, low friction and wear resistance. However, because of the casting process, part size and thickness are almost unlimited without degradation of the materials internal structure. Cast Nylon meets FDA standards.
Characteristics
-Excellent wear resistance
-Good sliding properties
-High strength and toughness
-Self-lubricating
-Resistant to oil, weak acid and alkali
-Shock absorption
-Noise absorption
-Good electrical properties
What's the difference between cast nylon and extruded nylon ?
The main difference is the manufacturing process. Cast nylon products are manufactured by a series of chemical reaction process. This allows products with extremely large dimensions and custom cast parts to be manufactured. Cast nylon owns better size stability and less water absorption. The crystallinity is greater so that wear resistance and machinability are better. Extruded absorbs more moisture and is thus tougher and has higher impact and vibration damping properties.
