Cast Nylon Sheet
Cast Nylon Sheets or Plates are generally superior to extruded Nylon-6. Cast nylon 6 is often less expensive to produce, especially for large geometries, large cross-sections, etc. The casting process of cast nylon 6 results in less stress than the extrusion process, thus providing better dimensional stability. Custom irregularly shaped parts can be cast to "near-net" geometries thereby reducing machining time.
Applications
Some commercial applications of CAST NYLON can be given industry-wise, as under :
