MC Nylon (Monocast Nylon) has a high crystallinity paired with high compression strength and impact resistance. Commonly used in is used in bearing and structural applications, such as wheels, gears, and custom parts. MC Nylon is available in natural and various colors.
- Bushings & Bearings
- Conveyor Wear Components
- Gears
- Metal Replacement Applications
- Pulleys
- Roller Wheels
- Sheaves
- Wear Pads
- Bearing & Wear Parts for a Wide Range Automated Equipment
- Valve Seats & Seals
Characteristics:
- Light weight
- Good wear resistance
- High tensile strength
- High young’s modulus
- Easy to machine
Limitations
- High Moisture Absorption
- Limited Resistance to Strong Acids & Alkalies Note – Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
