Nylacast H.S. Blue Cast Nylon 6, Heat Stabilized
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, Heat Stabilized

Material Notes: HS Blue is heat stabilized cast nylon, easily distinguished by its blue colour. Additives in the form of high temperature resistant colourants, heat stabilizers and UV stabilizers allow HS Blue to better retain its mechanical properties in applications operating at higher temperatures. HS Blue conforms to the specifications required by the Japanese market for cast nylons, a high percentage of which is serviced by this product alone. This accreditation is held by very few manufacturers of cast nylon due to the difficulties involved during its manufacture.

Benefits:

  • Better performance at higher operating temperatures
  • Heat stabilized colourants
  • UV stabilized
  • Improved mechanical properties
  • Good dimensional stability as with Natural cast nylon
  • Excellent chemical resistance properties
  • Good PV and load bearing capabilities
  • Conforms to Japanese standards
Typical Application:
  • Wear rings
  • Rollers
  • Spacers
  • Pump blocks
  • Dolly blocks
  • Pusher blocks
  • Guides
  • Bush Stoppers
  • Wear pads
  • Thruster Nozzles
  • Shims
  • Bespoke Components
