Nylon 6 Blue Rod

Blue Nylon 6 rod is a strong, versatile engineering plastic widely used for precision machined components. It offers an excellent balance of mechanical strength, stiffness and toughness, making it ideal for load-bearing parts in industrial applications.

Supplied as solid round rod, typically in lengths such as 12mm diameter x 1000mm, Nylon 6 machines well on conventional equipment and provides good wear resistance in dry and lubricated conditions. It is a popular replacement for metal in many applications, helping reduce weight and noise.

• High mechanical strength and rigidity for load-bearing components
• Good wear and abrasion resistance for sliding and bearing parts
• Low coefficient of friction, suitable for dry-running applications
• Excellent machinability for precision turned and milled parts
• Good fatigue resistance and impact strength for dynamic applications
• Typical uses include gears, bushes, rollers, spacers, pulleys and wear strips
