Nylon is one of the earliest-developed thermoplastic engineering resins in use worldwide. This material has outstanding properties, including high tensile strength and good resistance to creep, excellent abrasion, chemical and heat resistance, and a low coefficient of friction.
Application: A large percentage of Nylon is compounded with glass fibers, mineral fillers and additives such as flame-retardants. The addition of fibers and fillers increases such properties as strength, stiffness, and decreasing moisture pickup. A large number of applications include, automotive parts, roller skates, carpet, bike parts, kitchen items, sports equipment, and tool housings. Nylon can be processed through injection molding, extrusion, solution casting, roto-molding, blow molding and powder coating.
