Key Properties
- Light weight
- Good wear resistance
- High tensile strength
- High young's modulus
- Easy to machine
Limitations
- High Moisture Absorption
- 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.
