Nylon, also known as Polyamide (PA) in English, is a general term for thermoplastic resins with repeating amide groups—[NHCO]—on the main chain of molecules. Its naming is determined by the specific number of carbon atoms in the synthetic monomer. It was invented by the American chemical company DuPont's chemist Carothers and his research team.
The nylon series is an important engineering plastic. This product has a wide range of applications, covering almost every field, and is one of the most widely used varieties among the five major engineering plastics.
1: Nylon 6 (white): This material has excellent comprehensive properties, including mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness, mechanical shock absorption, and wear resistance. These characteristics, combined with good electrical insulation ability and chemical resistance, make Nylon 6 a "general-purpose" material for the manufacture of mechanical structural parts and maintainable parts.
2: Nylon 66 (cream): Compared to Nylon 6, it has better mechanical strength, stiffness, heat resistance, and wear resistance, but lower impact strength and mechanical shock absorption, making it very suitable for automatic lathe machining.
3: Nylon 4.6 (reddish brown): Compared to ordinary nylon, Nylon 4.6 has the characteristics of strong rigidity retention, good creep resistance, better heat aging resistance in a wider temperature range. Therefore, Nylon 4.6 is used in the "higher temperature range" (80-150℃) where Nylon 6, Nylon 66, POM, and PET do not meet the requirements in terms of rigidity, creep resistance, heat aging resistance, fatigue strength, and wear resistance.
4: Nylon 66+GF30 (black): Compared to pure Nylon 66, this type of nylon with 30% glass fiber reinforcement has improved heat resistance, strength, stiffness, creep resistance, dimensional stability, wear resistance, and a higher maximum allowable use temperature.
5: Nylon 66+MOS2 (dark gray): This type of nylon is filled with molybdenum disulfide. Compared to Nylon 66, it has improved rigidity, hardness, dimensional stability, and the formation of molybdenum disulfide crystals enhances the crystalline structure, improving the material's load-bearing and wear resistance.
Monomer casting nylon boards, also known as MC nylon: It is widely used in various industrial fields due to its light weight, high strength, self-lubrication, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation, and other unique properties. It is an extensively used engineering plastic that covers almost all industrial sectors.
Main Characteristics of Nylon Boards
