Allplastics Engineering offers extruded Nylon 66 a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with universal applications. It is noted for its high temperature resistance and high tensile strength. It has higher mechanical strength, stiffness and toughness than Nylon 6. This particular engineering thermoplastic also has superior machining properties and exhibits better heat, wear and creep resistance than extruded Nylon 6.
Applications of the Nylon 66 engineering thermoplastics:
- Gear wheels
- Friction strips
- Bushes and Flanges
- Piston guides
- Castors
- Impact plates
- Friction bearings
- Conveyor screws
- Cam followers
- Rope pulleys
- Plug parts
- Damping plates
- Valve seats
- Wheels
- Insulators
Key Features of the Nylon 66 engineering thermoplastics:
- Good sliding properties
- Very abrasion resistant
- Resistant to many oils, greases, diesel, petrol, cleaning fluids
- Strong, tough and rigid
- Electrically insulating
- Easily machined
Nylon 66 engineering thermoplastics offer many benefits and advantages than those of Nylon 6 thermoplastic, including higher temperature rating, lower impact strength and higher wear resistance. Engineering thermoplastics are easier to machine than other materials, including nylon 6 and the moisture absorbtion of this thermoplastic is lower than that of Nylon 6 engineering thermoplastic.
