What is Nylon 66?

Nylon 66 is also known as Polyamide 66 or PA 66 and is a semi-crystalline engineering plastic. This plastic is both hard and rigid with good abrasive and wear resistance along with low frictional properties. It also has good thermal dimensional stability which is the degree to which a material maintains its original dimensions when subjected to changes in temperature and humidity. This Nylon 66 plastic also features good slide and wear properties, components made from this solid plastic sheet slide very easily and don’t stick or lock up. This is an essential quality when this material is used in delicate or fine instruments where smooth operation is essential as well as in gears and bearings

Nylon Sheet, commonly known as Polyamide Sheet or PA Sheet (PA), are semi-crystalline polymers with very good mechanical properties, extreme toughness abd excellent sliding and wera properties. Nylon Sheet is tough and highly load resistant. Due to the pressureless manufacturing process Nylon Sheet is almost stress free.

Cast nylon is one of the oldest and most widely used engineered mechanical plastics. Its combination of toughness, dimensional stability, wear resistance, availability, and versatility make it a natural choice for informed engineers looking to improve their project. Cast nylon has served well in replacing many metals and offers a design choice when noise reduction and long life are important.

Cast nylon is a tough, stable engineering thermoplastic with a high modulus of elasticity, high strength, good rigidity, dimensional stability, resistance to moisture, solvents and other chemicals. It performs significantly better than copolymers in toughness at extreme temperatures, fatigue endurance, and elongation at yield. Common applications include precision gears, bearings with close tolerances, electrical engineering insulators, snap fit assemblies, and parts operating in a hot water environment.
