Nylon is a strong, stiff engineering plastic with outstanding bearing and wear properties . Nylon is frequently used to replace metal bearings and bushings often eliminating the need for external lubrication. Other benefits include a reduction in part weight, less operating noise, and decreased wear on mating parts.
Length, width, thickness, and diameter tolerances vary by size, by manufacturer, brand, and grade. Custom sizes and colors available upon request. Tube is also available in standard outer diameter sizes from 5 in – 40 in, complete our Get a Quote form for more information.

Nylons are typically described according to numbers (6, 66, 11, 12, etc.) which relate to their molecular structures. Although there are many types of Nylon, the two most common available in sheet, rod, and tube are Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6 .
Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6 – have very similar mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Both are available in a variety of colors and formulations that are engineered to meet specific application requirements. For Nylon 6 chemical resistance view our chart.
Nylon 6 – is generally manufactured into sheet, rod, and tube via a liquid casting process. Casting is often the most cost effective method for producing large diameter rod, tube, and thick sheet. This process has the added advantage of allowing manufacturers to create custom near net (irregular) shapes. Near net shapes are useful in the construction of parts that would yield poorly from standard sheet, rod, or tube stock.
Nylon 6/6 – sheet, rod, and tube are usually produced by melting solid pellets of the polymer and processing them through a thermoplastic extruder. Extrusion is a fast and economical method for making small diameter rod, tube, and thin sheet. Unlike cast Nylon 6 stock shapes, extruded Nylon 6/6 sheet, rod, and tubing can be manufactured to any length, which can be an advantage for cost effectively yielding finished parts.
Nylon Grades – Nylon is available in a variety of specialty formulas. Molybdenum disulphide-filled (MOS2) and oil-filled nylons have enhanced wear properties often eliminating the need for external lubrication. Heat-stabilized nylon withstands higher operating temperatures. Nylon is available in glass-filled grades for enhanced stiffness and strength. FDA compliant grades of nylon are available for direct food contact.
Nylon with Metal Core– Nylon billets can be manufactured into many different components including gears, rollers, sprockets and augers. In power transmission applications, NYMETAL® billets combine the performance advantages of nylon and metal into one cohesive unit.
Tech Tip – Nylon has relatively high moisture absorption compared with many other thermoplastics. Nylon parts that must perform in wet environments should be designed with tolerances that factor in dimensional changes due to moisture absorption.
Values may vary according to brand name. Please ask your Curbell Plastics representative for more specific information about an individual brand.

Style du Monde; PICTURED: Adwoa Aboah wearing a Prada bag
We always enjoy the return of a once-forgotten trend, even if it does make our friends in the pub look at us strangely. (Best to ignore them.) At the moment, we're witnessing the reemergence of the nylon bag first made popular in the '90s and '00s. We saw it in the form of Prada's iconic version being worn by Kim Kardashian West, Kendall Jenner and model-of-the-moment Adwoa Aboah (pictured above) last summer. And thanks to Prada showing new iterations of the bags on the runway last season—and more recently during the men's show in Milan—it's already an easy one for the high street and other brands to jump on.

This is, of course, fantastic news. While you can invest in a classic piece by Miuccia (we still very much want to own one), you could also spend £20 for a high-street version and still look stylish. However, there are also some other incredible designer pieces too that you don't want to overlook. From backpacks to bum bags as well as classic totes, there's a bag suitable for every budget. The final bonus? Thanks to its utilitarian style, it not only gives your wardrobe an update for spring/summer 2018 , it's also incredibly functional. Keep scrolling to choose yours from our pick of the best.
