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.

On the other hand, Nylon 66 is manufactured and synthesized by polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid.
It is widely recognized as an engineering thermoplastic and utilized as a lightweight replacement for metals.
High Moisture absorption ability and better short term heat resistance
Higher Modulus and better wear resistance
November 6, 2021 by Sagar Habib 2 Comments
Nylon is a linear thermoplastic, also known as Polyamide. It is a strong, high-performance, engineering plastic with excellent tensile strength, often seen as an alternative to silk, rubber, and latex. It is a commonly used thermoplastic material for various applications like clothing, rubber components like tires, ropes, threads, automobile parts, mechanical components, etc.
Polyamide or Nylon was first developed and tested in 1935 by an American chemist named Wallace Carothers. What Wallace produced was technically Nylon 66, which is still the most commonly used variant.
It is solid, abrasion, chemical, and moisture absorbent, elastic, and long-lasting. Nylon material is often used as an alternative to low-strength metals for its lightweight compared to metals, chemical suitability, good mechanical and barrier properties, and high-temperature resilience.
Additionally, nylon can easily be flame retarded which is quite rare to be found in thermoplastics.
Nylon is available in white, black, and off-white colors. There are multiple types of nylon in the more prominent polyamide family, and each one of them is utilized depending on the application and the budget restrictions.
It is also referred to by its chemical name – PA (e.g., PA6, PA66 )
“6” means that the material is conceived with a single monomer in combination with itself. In comparison, “66” shows that the material is developed from multiple monomers combined with itself ( also called comonomers ).
The amide chemical group present in all the nylon variants is responsible for moisture absorption. Moisture reduces nylons’ tensile modulus, increasing smack resistance and flexibility.
Moisture absorption is also a key to understanding dimensional variations. Knowing that will come in handy while designing parts.
The process is similar to other plastics; it starts with filtering hydrocarbon fuels into lighter groups called fractions.
A certain amount of fractions are removed and combined with other catalysts to produce plastics (typically via polymerization or polycondensation).
The original method for producing nylon falls under two different processes.
The first process includes blending a group of monomers amine (NH2) groups reacting with carboxylic acid (COOH).
In the second method, the same molecules will be used in the multiple of 2. That means a reaction of diamine ( 2 x NH2 groups) with dicarboxylic acid ( 2 x COOH groups).
Below are the typical properties of various grades of Nylon:
Like any other thermoplastic, some challenges are often faced while processing Nylon. Let’s discuss them in brief.
Nylon is one of the most hygroscopic materials, which means it quickly absorbs excess moisture, which can sometimes be a headache. Draining should be done promptly and adequately.
Poor drying can lead to excess gassing and other potential scrap generating defects.
Although, excess moisture is easily avoidable by cleaning the loader line and loader receptacle properly.
Nylon is a bit vulnerable to shrinkage problems during the molding process. Shinkage can cause reduced strength, discoloration, and warped edges in the final product.
Controlling the heat and molding temperature can reduce shrinkage significantly.
Excess gassing can have significant defects in nylon plastic. In addition, a poor pale appearance is common with excess gassing.
High mold temperature and poor venting is the most common reason for gassing.
Gassing prevention is quite simple; just finding the right temperature for processing and adding an extra vent in the machine can eradicate gassing completely.
Both PA6 and PA66 are extensively utilized in multiple industries for numerous products like safety and comfort gears, electronics, sports, leisure, plastic nets , etc.
Both PA 6 and PA66 grades are qualified enough to be used for electrical and electronics products. If they pass GWIT, UL94 test, their application in your products will become easier.
Both the grades can easily be flames retarded. That gives it a tremendous advantage to be used in electrical products with miniatures and thin designs are required.
Excellent puncture resistance is one of the main features of PA6 and PA66. Along with that, good barrier resistance to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
These properties are a must for food packaging applications. That makes PA6 and PA66 highly suitable for providing safe, secure, and most importantly, safe for compatible human-contact packaging solutions (mono and multilayer ).
Good Processability, wonderful chemical and temperature resistance makes PA6 and PA66 suitable for replacing metal in automobiles (Mostly under the hood parts where design pliability is very important).
Their major contribution is towards weight savings which helps in reducing Co2 emissions and improving the safety and comfort of automobiles.
Polyamide 66 has numerous applications for the consumer goods industry thanks to its properties like mechanical resistance, easy shaping, colorability, a decent surface aspect crucial for consumer goods.
PA66 is easy to use and inexpensive compared to a lot of thermoplastics used for the application. Even shaping the goods in complex designs is doable.
Traditionally, polypropylene was the popular thermoplastic for furniture application (and it still is). However, firms are steadily transitioning to Nylon.
It is actively being utilized for manufacturing home and office furniture, stadium seats, etc.
Brilliant surface finish quality, excellent resistance to dirt, and aging have played a huge role in bringing Pa6 and PA66 into mainstream furniture manufacturing.
According to studies conducted by fortune global insights global Nylon market size is pegged to grow about USD 30 Billion by 2026.
As the demand for sustainable polymeric products is on a high trajectory, nylon plays an important role in developing such products.
For example, Osprey, a manufacturer of outdoor products, partnered with Hyosung in August 2020 to utilize its 100% recycled fiber for manufacturing outdoor products. Similarly, a french company named Longchamp is making bags from waste nylon.
However, in the short term, the demand is hampered significantly because of the COVID-19 outbreak resulting in economic uncertainty worldwide. Things will take time to come back to normal. Still, in the longer term, Nylon’s irreplaceability in industries like textile and automobiles gives it an edge to stay relevant even in tough times.
Ans. The main fiber composition is a strong synthetic polymer that makes its bonds tight, rigid and strong.
2. Does Nylon has an extended structure?
Ans. Nylon and silk have very similar structures but have different degradation processes. H-bonds join neighboring chain segments and create an extended planar sheet such that NH groups can form strong hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) with the CO group, which causes a crystal structure of nylon. That means it doesn’t have an extended structure.
3. Why does Nylon 6 have a high melting point?
Ans . The monomer of Nylon 6 is called aminocaproic acid, but it is known as caprolactam in its ring form. When the ring is opened, the chemical will react with itself to produce the Nylon 6 polymer. The amide group of polymer is responsible for Nylon’s relatively high melting point and affinity for moisture.
