About cast nylon

Cast nylon is one of the most widely used plastics in the world, especially as a bearing and wear material. Cast nylons are frequently used as replacements for bronze, brass, aluminum, steel and other metals, as well as other plastics, wood, and rubber, making cast nylons a popular choice of plastic materials.

Cast nylons offer extremely good wear resistance, coupled with high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. They also have high impact resistance, a high heat distortion temperature, and resist wear, abrasion, and vibration. In addition, cast nylon can withstand sustained contact with a wide variety of chemicals, alkalies, dilute acids or oxidizing agents.
