Cast nylon - grade #6
LEADING MANUFACTURER OF CAST NYLON 6
CLASSIC
Engineering Plastics
Designing and Manufacturing of Cast Nylon products are our main business. Cast Nylon products have a whole array of benefits to offer, and in many cases can effectively replace metals or ceramics. Moreover, engineered plastic components often provide the only alternative when it comes to the implementation of unusual technical applications - which makes them a true pacemaker for innovation in every key of industry.
Classic Engineering Plastics processes a wide variety of cast nylon products, which possess better mechanical and/or thermal properties than the more widely used standard plastics such as polystyrene, PVC and Polyethylene.
In comparison to widely used commodity plastics for packaging as PE, PP, PVC, engineering plastics are chosen in case of higher requirements in mechanical strength or thermal resistance, but are not as sophisticated and expensive as high temperature plastics.
Cast nylon polyamides are highly molecular, highly crystalline polymers. Semi finished nylon type 6 shapes are manufactured using a casting method, whereby the raw material caprolactam polymerises by means of a controlled chemical reaction.
By using additives such as oil, solid lubricants or thermal stabilisers, the typical characteristics of type 6 nylon can be selectively adjusted for certain applications, opening up a custom tailored range of materials to cover a wide application spectrum. Cast Nylon demonstrates even higher crystallinity and better machinability than extruded nylon.
Cast Nylon products offer:
Good mechanical characteristics
Excellent machinability and dimensional stability
Good chemical resistance
Good wear resistance
Very low levels of internal stress
High degree of crystallinity
Toughness at high levels of hardness
Very good wear resistance
Good abrasion resistance
Good damping properties
Easy processing
Ability to be manufactured in wide ranging casting weights and dimensions
