Nylon
Nylon is a versatile and popular engineering plastic with outstanding hardness and tensile strength, plus superior wear resistance. A low coefficient of friction is another advantage along with heat resistance as high as 230 degrees Fahrenheit in some grades. Nylon is an excellent choice for parts that aren't in frequent contact with strong acids, organic solvents, or sunlight. The addition of oil, glass, or moly disulfide improves the properties listed above to provide even better wear and abrasion resistance. Also,

- Type 6 cast nylon is molded into void-free plates that are free of stress
- Type 6/6 nylon is a popular extruded nylon (a hard plastic that machines easily)
- Extruded nylon is more rigid than cast nylon and suitable for automatic screw machines
- Nylon is an ideal replacement for materials such as copper, aluminum, and other steels
- Nylon is commonly used in applications such as gears, bearings, and bushings
- Sheets/Rods/Tubes
- Custom fabrication services available from WS Hampshire
