Description
Cast Nylon 6 Black Sheet is a versatile engineering plastic known for its high strength and durability. Ideal for various applications in machinery and manufacturing.
Material Properties
This Cast Nylon 6 is a type of polyamide that exhibits superior characteristics compared to extruded nylon. It offers enhanced strength, stiffness, and hardness, with an operational temperature range from 0°C to +90°C. Additionally, it is food compliant, making it suitable for various applications.
Enhanced Features
The addition of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) in the black variant improves wear and bearing characteristics. This nylon sheet is self-lubricating, requires low maintenance, and provides good impact and fatigue resistance.
Versatile Applications
Nylon 6 Black Sheet is widely used in the production of large gears, bearings, bushes, gear racks, crane sheaves, and boom pads. Its properties make it an excellent choice for applications requiring high wear resistance and durability.
Machining and Handling
When machining Nylon 6 Sheet, it is essential to use sharp tools and maintain a low temperature to avoid overheating, which can affect surface finish. It is advisable to skim both faces evenly to maintain flatness.
