| Cast nylons are generally accepted as the primary engineering polymer, suitable for virtually any plain bearing application. By varying the conditions of polymerisation the mechanical properties of cast nylons may be altered to suit specific applications, and the performance of the basic polymer can be enhanced with the addition of various additives, fillers, lubricants and colorants. Key characteristics: - Unequalled formulation options and profile range
- Excellent mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance
- Excellent PV and load bearing capabilities
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
- Good dimensional stability, largely free from internal stresses
- FDA compliant grades available
CP612 is a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 12 produced by anionic polymerisation of caprolactam and laurinlactam. The copolymer makeup gives the product a greater degree of material resilience, reduces moisture absorption and greatly improves impact resistance. |
