Nylon 6 Rod

Nylon 6 Rod

Nylon 6 rod is a versatile engineering plastic known for its high tensile strength, stiffness and excellent machinability. It offers moderate chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and reliable heat performance, making it ideal for a variety of engineering applications.

As a leading plastic rod supplier, PAR Group offers a wide range of Nylon 6 rods, including standard grades for general machining, cast rods with enhanced strength and lower moisture absorption, and extruded rods for tighter tolerances and thinner thicknesses. Specially engineered grades, such as metal detectable and flame retardant options, are also available for specific industrial uses.
