Description
This premium Nylon 6 PE filled green sheet is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for demanding mechanical applications. Combining the inherent strength and toughness of Nylon 6 with specialist filling for improved dimensional stability and wear resistance, it is an excellent choice where durability and long service life are critical.
Available in a wide range of sheet sizes and thicknesses, this material is ideal for machining into components such as bushes, wear plates, gears, guides and structural parts. Its outstanding abrasion resistance, good impact strength and low friction characteristics make it suitable for use in industrial machinery, automotive, materials handling and general engineering environments.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-quality Nylon 6 with PE filling for enhanced wear and stability.
- Distinctive green sheet colour for easy material identification in workshops and production areas.
- Available thicknesses from 10 mm up to 50 mm, including 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50 mm options.
- Two standard sheet lengths: 1250 mm for smaller components and 2500 mm for larger parts or multiple cuts.
- Choice of sheet widths: 610 mm for compact layouts and 1250 mm for maximised yield and nesting efficiency.
- Excellent machinability using standard metalworking or plastics machining equipment.
- Good balance of strength, stiffness and impact resistance for a wide variety of mechanical uses.
Key Features and Benefits
- High abrasion resistance helps extend component life in sliding, guiding and bearing applications, reducing maintenance downtime.
- Low coefficient of friction supports smooth, quiet operation and can reduce the need for additional lubrication.
- PE-filled formulation offers improved dimensional stability, helping parts hold tolerances better after machining and in service.
- Excellent machinability allows efficient production of custom profiles and complex shapes, saving time in fabrication.
- Good impact and fatigue resistance provides reliable performance in dynamic and cyclic loading conditions.
- Wide range of sheet sizes and thicknesses minimises waste and allows economical cutting layouts for different projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this Nylon 6 PE filled sheet be machined with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the sheet can be machined using standard metalworking or plastics machining equipment, such as saws, mills and lathes with appropriate tooling. Using sharp cutters and controlled feed rates will help achieve accurate dimensions and good surface finish.
Is this material suitable for high-wear applications such as sliding guides and wear plates?
Yes, the combination of Nylon 6 and PE filling provides very good abrasion resistance and low friction, making it well suited to wear plates, guide rails and similar high-wear components, especially where reduced maintenance and longer service life are desired.
How do I choose the correct sheet thickness and size for my project?
Select a thickness that provides sufficient stiffness and strength for the loads and spans involved in your component. Then choose from the available sheet lengths (1250 mm or 2500 mm) and widths (610 mm or 1250 mm) to optimise your cutting layout, minimise waste and ensure your largest part fits within the sheet dimensions.
