Nylon

A tough, impact-resistant engineering plastic built to survive mechanical stress that would crack more brittle plastics.

Example: machined Nylon

What is it?

A tough, impact-resistant engineering plastic built to survive mechanical stress that would crack more brittle plastics.

Key behavior

High toughness and wear resistance, though it absorbs moisture over time, which can cause slight dimensional swelling in humid conditions.

Why choose it

Mechanical parts that need to survive repeated impact or load — wheels, wear plates, bushings under real mechanical stress.

Applications

Heavy-duty wheels, wear plates, hardware bushings, load-bearing mechanical components.

Machining notes

Machines well but benefits from accounting for its moisture absorption in dimensionally critical applications.
