Nylon sheets and tubes are engineering plastics known for their excellent mechanical strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Produced mainly from Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6, these materials are available in various grades, including glass-filled and oil-filled options for enhanced performance. Nylon sheets and tubes are lightweight, easy to machine, and offer good chemical resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial and engineering applications. Their low coefficient of friction and high impact strength allow them to replace metal parts in many scenarios, reducing weight and maintenance needs.
Common Uses of Nylon Sheets and Tubes:
Gears, rollers, and bushings in machinery
Wear pads, bearings, and sliders
Conveyor components and sprockets
Electrical insulators and circuit board mounts
Plumbing fittings and valves
Structural parts in automotive and industrial equipment
Food processing machine parts (FDA-compliant grades available)
Screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners
