Nylon 66 is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with universal applications.

Key Features:

  • Good sliding properties
  • Very abrasion resistant
  • Resistant to many oils, greases, diesel, petrol, cleaning fluids
  • Strong, tough and rigid
  • Electrically insulating
  • Easily machined
  • Easily welded and bonded

 

Nylon 66 offers the following benefits over Nylon 6:

  • Higher temperature rating.
  • Lower impact strength and mechanical damping.
  • Higher wear resistance.
  • Easiest to machine.

 

Temperature Range:
-30ºC to +120ºC, +170ºC short term

Applications:
Rollers, gears, friction strips, bushes, spindle nuts, piston guides, castors, impact plates, friction bearings, conveyor screws, cam discs, ropes pullys, plug parts, damping plates, bearings.
