More about Nylon Sheets You Need to Know
What is Nylon made of？
Different grades of nylon use different raw materials. PA6 is made from caprolactam, while PA66 is produced by polymerizing hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid.
What is Nylon 6？
Nylon 6 (also known as PA 6) is produced through the polymerization of caprolactam. It offers a balanced combination of properties—including wear resistance and toughness—along with excellent processability and low cost.
Nylon 6 comes in two forms: extruded PA 6 and cast PA 6.
Extruded PA 6: Low cost, wide range of specifications, and easy to process.
Cast PA 6: Higher molecular weight, superior wear and impact resistance, and suitable for producing large-sized sheets.
What is Nylon 66？
Nylon 66, also known as PA66, is a high-performance engineering plastic. It is produced through the polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid.
Compared to PA6, PA66 offers higher strength and rigidity, superior dimensional stability, and lower water absorption.
PA66 is typically an extrusion-grade nylon; cast-grade PA66 essentially does not exist.
What is Cast Nylon/MC Nylon？
It is generally referred to as Cast PA 6 or MC Nylon rather than simply “Cast Nylon”, all three terms actually describe cast nylon produced via the casting process.
MC Nylon stands for “Monomer Casting Nylon” and is produced by the direct polymerization of caprolactam monomer within a mold. Consequently, Cast PA 6 features a higher molecular weight and lower internal stress.
MC Nylon offers superior mechanical properties, including excellent wear resistance, impact resistance, self-lubricating qualities, and fatigue resistance, as well as a long service life.
The blue nylon sheets commonly found on the market today are, in fact, MC Nylon.
Cast nylon allows for the production of nylon sheets in extra-thick and extra-large dimensions.
What are the properties of Nylon Sheets?
The key advantages of nylon are its excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability, as well as its outstanding self-lubricating properties. These characteristics make it suitable for demanding, high-load operating conditions.
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, nylon is often used as a substitute for metal components—such as those made of steel—weighing only one-seventh as much as steel. Furthermore, nylon is cost-effective; replacing it entails significantly lower costs than replacing steel parts.
What is Nylon Sheet used for?
Due to its inherent excellent wear resistance, impact resistance, and self-lubricating properties, nylon is commonly used for wear strips, bearings, gears, and chute liners.
High-temperature treated MC nylon sheet can withstand long-term use at 275°F while maintaining dimensional stability; it is typically used for bushings, rollers, and wear pads in ovens, kilns, and industrial drying equipment.
Molybdenum disulfide-filled nylon sheet offers superior wear and impact resistance, extending the service life of components in harsh operating conditions. It is used for pulleys, bushings, and wear pads on telescopic booms in the mobile crane industry, as well as for gears and rollers in various material handling systems.
Oil-filled, molybdenum disulfide-reinforced nylon sheet is the most popular type of PA sheet. It combines high compressive strength and load-bearing capacity with enhanced lubrication, making it ideal for high-load, low-speed applications.
Material Comparison
Nylon 6 vs Nylon 66
Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 are designed for different operating conditions, each offering distinct properties and advantages.
Nylon 6 offers good toughness and wear resistance while being cost-effective; it is commonly used for gears, guide rails, pulleys, and wear pads.
Nylon 66 features superior strength, rigidity, and impact resistance, as well as higher temperature resistance; it is frequently used for precision machined parts, structural components, and high-load mechanical applications.
Nylon vs Rubber
These are two completely different materials with distinct applications.
Nylon is suitable for operating conditions requiring high load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and high mechanical strength. Rubber is suitable for applications requiring shock absorption, cushioning, sealing, or anti-slip properties.
In conveyor systems, nylon wear strips can replace rubber wear strips; the nylon version offers superior wear resistance, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.
In industrial applications, heavy-duty rollers utilize nylon rather than rubber because nylon offers a higher load-bearing capacity.
Nylon vs UHMW
Both Nylon and UHMW exhibit excellent wear resistance, though their wear-resistance mechanisms differ:
Nylon excels in high-load wear resistance, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. It is frequently used to manufacture gears, bearings, and bushings due to its high strength, rigidity, and load-bearing capacity.
UHMW offers wear resistance through low friction, making it ideal for applications requiring ultra-low friction, such as conveyor guide rails and slide rails. It is commonly used in the conveying industry because it is slicker, operates more quietly, and resists material adhesion.
Nylon vs PTFE（Teflon）
Nylon possesses significantly higher rigidity and strength than PTFE; consequently, for high-load applications requiring superior wear resistance and long-term durability, Nylon is the preferred material.
Although PTFE is wear-resistant and has an extremely low coefficient of friction, it lacks rigidity. It is prone to deformation and loss of dimensional stability under sustained high loads, making it better suited for low-load wear applications.
However, PTFE is more widely used than Nylon in the chemical industry. This is due to PTFE’s exceptional chemical inertness and resistance to chemical corrosion—it remains virtually unreactive with almost all chemical substances. In contrast, Nylon’s chemical resistance is inferior to that of PTFE; while Nylon withstands oils, greases, fuels, weak alkalis, and most organic solvents, it is not resistant to strong acids or strong oxidizing agents.
