Nylon Rod is an engineering plastic rod made of synthetic polyamide (such as PA6, PA66, etc.) and has many excellent properties. The following are its main features:
High Mechanical Strength
Excellent tensile strength and toughness.
Can withstand heavy loads without breaking or deforming.
Excellent Wear Resistance
Low coefficient of friction and self-lubricating properties.
Ideal for moving parts like bearings, gears, and sliders.
Good Chemical Resistance
Resistant to oils, alkalis, alcohols, esters, and weak acids.
Not suitable for use with strong acids or oxidizing agents.
Good Heat Resistance
Can be used continuously in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C.
Some reinforced types can withstand up to 150°C.
Superior Electrical Insulation
Excellent dielectric properties.
Commonly used in electrical and electronic components.
Moderate Water Absorption
May absorb moisture from the environment, which can slightly affect dimensions and mechanical properties.
Easy to Machine
Can be easily cut, milled, drilled, or turned.
Suitable for manufacturing custom mechanical parts.
