Polyamide (Nylon)
Nylon is a strong, tough engineering plastic known for wear resistance and strength. It performs well under friction and high temperatures. It absorbs moisture, which may affect its dimensional stability but adds flexibility and toughness.
- High mechanical strength and toughness
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
- Good thermal stability
- Self-lubricating properties
• Gears and bushings
• Bearings
• Textiles and fibers
• Automotive engine components
