Polyamide - Cast Heat Stabilised Grade

Cast Polyamide 6 (Cast Nylon 6 or PA 6) is one of the most versatile thermoplastics. Cast Nylon is a polymer characterised by its high molecular weight and its highly crystalline nature. With its unparalleled toughness, wear resistance, tensile strength, and lubricity, Nylon perfectly caters to the rigorous demands of modern engineers.

This exceptional material serves as an ideal replacement for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, offering numerous benefits such as noise reduction, reduced lubrication requirements, and minimised downtime.

Nylon can be easily machined using standard general-purpose machinery, allowing for seamless integration into various applications.

Through the incorporation of additives such as oil, solid lubricants, thermal stabilisers, or specialised fillers, the inherent properties of cast nylon materials can be finely tuned to suit specific applications, thus offering a diverse array of materials tailored to various needs. Furthermore, cast polyamide 6 stands out as an excellent alternative to metal, boasting fatigue resistance, noise reduction, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. PA 6 is a low maintenance material when compared with other metals such as iron, aluminium, brass and bronze.

‘PA 6 MC’ – Cast Heat Stabilised Grade

PA 6 MC is ideal for a variety of bearing and structural applications. The grade of material has a distinct blue colour and is characterised by outstanding mechanical strength, rigidity, hardness, and toughness. The material also demonstrates exceptional sliding characteristics, excellent electrical insulation properties, and remarkable wear resistance. These attributes make PA 6 MC a preferred choice for applications such as gear wheels, racks, pinions, and custom components.

POM material, commonly called Acetal or Polyacetal is a remarkable material known for its properties of providing high strength and stiffness, ensuring enhanced dimensional stability and excellent machinability. Its semi-crystalline structure exhibits a low coefficient of friction and excellent wear properties making it ideal for sliding applications. With a high modulus of elasticity, rigidity, and good electrical properties, Polyacetal continuously proves to be a versatile material.

Polyacetal offers excellent resistance to moisture, gasoline, solvents, and many other neutral chemicals. It is recommended for operating temperatures of up to 82°C.

Polyacetal has good dimensional stability and particularly good fatigue strength, as well as excellent machining ability even for complex finished components. Typical product applications for this material include bearings, bushings, electrical insulators, electrical components, gears, machine guides, rollers, timing screws, anti-friction parts, and pulleys.

At Classic Polymers, we specialise in manufacturing Polyacetal in various forms to meet your specific needs. Our range includes rods ranging from 6 mm to 300 mm in diameter, available in metre/foot lengths/custom lengths. Sheets are available in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 150 mm, with sizes of 2000 mm x 1000 mm, 1000 x 620 mm / Custom Sizes. Additionally, we provide custom-fabricated components tailored to your requirements.
