Nylon Characteristics
Nylon is a tough thermoplastic with outstanding wear properties. Nylon is easy to machine and has high abrasion and impact resistance. It has excellent tensile and compressive strength and is an excellent electrical insulator.
There are many variations available with additives that enhance properties such as plasticizers to improve impact strength, lubricants to reduce the coefficient of friction and anti-oxidizers to improve operating temperature range.
Nylon should not be used in high-humidity or underwater applications.
