Key Properties
- Higher Mechanical Properties over unfilled Nylons
- Higher Stiffness at Temperature with much higher HDT over unfilled Nylons
- Improved Dimensional Stability over unfilled Nylons (Lower CLTE)
Limitations
- High Moisture Absorption
- Lower impact strength
- Glass additive abrasive towards mating surface – not intended for bearing & wear applications
- Limited Resistance to Strong Acids & Alkalies
- Note - Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
Applications
- Housings
- Metal Replacement Applications
- Structural Components
Resin Trade Names
Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
