• Nylon 6 - general purpose mechanical construction & maintenance plastic

• Nylon 66 - improved stiffness & wear resistance over Nylon 6, though impact strength & mechanical damping properties are reduced

• Cast Nylon - various specifications with added features, excellent bearing & wearing characteristics

• GSM - cast Nylon 6 with added molybdenum disulphide for improved stiffness & hardness

• Acetal - used in preference to nylon materials where dimensional stability is key

• PEEK - good temperature & chemical resistance, high mechanical strength

• Polyethylene - good wear characteristics & outstanding impact resistance. Very good machinability

• PTFE - excellent low friction properties & dimensional stability• Tufnol - a fabric reinforced, laminate plastic material suitable for many types of mechanical components

Engineering PlasticsMost types available in rod, sheet or tube.
