Description of nylon rod

A large percentage of Nylon is compounded with glass fibers, mineral fillers and additives such as flame-retardants. The addition of fibers and fillers increases such properties as strength, stiffness, and decreasing moisture pickup. A large number of applications include automotive parts, roller skates, carpet, bike parts, kitchen items, sports equipment, and tool housings. Nylon can be processed through injection molding, extrusion, solution casting, roto-molding, and blow molding.

Performance Characteristics:

Excellent bearing and wear properties

Strong and stiff

Good chemical resistance

Easy to machine

Reduced noise, weight, and wear of mating parts compared with many traditional metal bearing materials

Internally lubricated grades often eliminate the need for external lubrication in many bearing and wear applications

Application:

Bearings and bushings / Gears / Sprockets / Star wheels / Wear pads / Packaging machinery components / Food processing machinery components / Wheels / Rollers / Seals and gaskets
