Nylon is a synthetic polymer in the polyamide family, widely recognized for its strength, durability, and versatility in engineering applications. It is available in various types and forms, including Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6, extruded or cast sheets and rods, and unfilled or reinforced grades, each offering distinct mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties to meet specific manufacturing and performance requirements.
Yes, nylon is highly suitable for CNC machining due to its toughness, low friction, and stable dimensional properties, allowing precise and consistent parts.
Nylon can be machined using milling, turning, drilling, and tapping processes, with attention to cutting speed, feed rate, and heat management to prevent melting or deformation.
Common grades for machining include Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6, available in unfilled, glass-filled, and other reinforced variants depending on strength, wear resistance, and thermal requirements.
Nylon is a fully synthetic plastic, specifically a polyamide, engineered for mechanical performance and chemical resistance.
Nylon softens and can melt at high temperatures (around 260 °C / 500 °F) and may burn if exposed to open flames, so heat management during machining is essential.
Yes, nylon generally has higher tensile strength, better wear resistance, and superior mechanical performance compared with PVC, making it more suitable for load-bearing and moving components.
