Nylon (Nylon), also known as polyamide in Chinese, Polyamide in English (PA for short), is a general term for thermoplastic resins with repeated 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 chemist Carothers and his research team at DuPont, a major chemical company in the United States.
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 excellent 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 grade" 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 in a wide 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 nylon is reinforced with 30% glass fiber, which improves its heat resistance, strength, stiffness, creep resistance, dimensional stability, wear resistance, and allows for a higher maximum operating temperature.
5: Nylon 66+MOS2 (gray-black): This nylon is filled with molybdenum disulfide. Compared to Nylon 66, it has improved rigidity, hardness, and dimensional stability, but reduced impact strength. The molybdenum disulfide crystal formation enhances the crystalline structure, improving the material's load-bearing and wear resistance.
Monomer casting nylon board, also known as MC nylon: It is extremely widely used with the slogan "Replacing steel with plastic, excellent performance." It has various unique properties such as lightweight, high strength, self-lubrication, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation. It is a widely used engineering plastic that is almost ubiquitous in all industrial fields.
Main Characteristics of Nylon Boards
