overview of nylon®
— nylon is easily fabricated, is non-abrasive to other materials, and has noise dampening characteristics. nylon is typically produced via two manufacturing methods: extrusion (type 6/6) and cast (type 6). this material is well-suited to a variety of additives such as md, glass, and oil to provide special performance characteristics. typical features include high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity , high impact resistance, high heat distortion temperature, chemical resistance, as well as; wear, abrasion, and vibration resistance. nylon is not moisture resistant, except for nylon 12 grade.
