Cast Nylon 6 Black Sheet for Engineering Applications 70mm to 100mm thick

Cast Nylon 6 Black Sheet is a versatile engineering plastic known for its strength and durability. Ideal for various applications including gears and bearings.

Material Properties

Cast Nylon 6, also known as Cast Polyamide 6, offers superior characteristics compared to extruded alternatives. It features higher strength, stiffness, and hardness, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +90°C. This material is food compliant and available in larger sizes.

Enhanced Features

The addition of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) in the black variant of Cast Nylon 6 enhances its wear and bearing characteristics. It provides good impact resistance and is self-lubricating, requiring low maintenance.

Machining and Handling

Nylon 6 Sheet is known for its ease of machining. It can be drilled, tapped, and bored with sharp tools while keeping heat levels low to avoid surface damage. It's recommended to skim both faces evenly if thickness reduction is needed.

Applications

Common applications for Cast Nylon 6 include large gears, bearings, bushes, gear racks, crane sheaves, chain guides, boom pads, rail wheels, and various engineering components.
