Nylon, also known as polyamide in Chinese, is a general term for thermoplastic resins with repeating amide groups—[NHCO]—on the main chain of the molecule. Its naming is determined by the specific number of carbon atoms in the synthetic monomer. It was invented by the American chemical industry giant, DuPont, chemist Carothers and his research team.
The nylon series is an important engineering plastic. This product is widely used, 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 superior comprehensive performance, 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 used 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 performance, making it very suitable for automatic lathe machining.
3: Nylon 4.6 (reddish-brown): Compared to ordinary nylon, Nylon 4.6 has strong rigidity retention, good creep resistance, better heat aging within a wider temperature range, so Nylon 4.6 is used for applications in the "higher temperature range" (80 - 150 °C) where Nylon 6, Nylon 66, POM, and PET do not meet the requirements in terms of stiffness, creep resistance, heat aging, 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, and wear resistance, with a higher maximum allowable use temperature.
5: Nylon 66+MOS2 (gray-black): This nylon is filled with molybdenum disulfide, which compared to Nylon 66, has improved rigidity, hardness, and dimensional stability, but decreased impact strength. The molybdenum disulfide crystal formation effect enhances the crystalline structure, improving the material's load-bearing and wear resistance.
Monomer casting nylon, also known as MC nylon: It is extremely versatile with the slogan "Replace steel with plastic, excellent performance". It has a wide range of applications and unique properties such as lightweight, high strength, self-lubrication, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation, etc. It is a widely used engineering plastic that is almost ubiquitous in all industrial fields.
