Nylacast Materials Nylacast is one of the leading manufacturers of cast nylons and has specialised in developing this unique polymer for many decades. For this reason we offer the widest range of profiles, grades and sizes available, concentrating on our ability to custom and formulate a grade for a particular application. Our manufacturing facilities are based in the United Kingdom and South Africa Although our origin lies in cast nylons we are also able to supply a much wider range of extruded engineering polymers, with new high performance products being added to our product portfolio....

Nylacast Cast Nylon 6 Cast Nylons are a range of polyamides produced by a casting process involving the anionic polymerisation of caprolactam. This process allows the production of semi- finished plate, rod, tube and custom castings that are largely free of internal stresses. Natural cast nylon (available also in black) is the basic cast nylon 6 grade and the one from which all the other grades of cast nylon stem. Generally accepted as the primary engineering polymer, natural cast nylon is suitable for virtually any plain bearing application, not to mention a huge range of other...

Nylacast Moly Nylacast Moly is a cast nylon 6 material in which improved crystallisation occurs by the addition of occurs by the addition of Molybdenum Disulphide. On account of this the superficial hardness increases (providing excellent machine ability) and simultaneously the general mechanical and anti-friction properties are improved. Due to the fact that the crystal structure breaks down immediately before the melting temperature is reached, the thermal properties of the material are improved over the basic grade. MoS2 provides a degree of self lubrication leading to an improvement in...

HS Blue is heat stabilized cast nylon 6, easily distinguished by its distinctive 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 of Nylacast...

Aquanyl 612 is a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 12 produced via the anionic polymerization process using the monomer's Laurinlactam has a similar effect to a plasticizer, but being a copolymer does not suffer the "leeching out" problems of many plasticisers'. The aim is to impart a greater degree of resilience to the material, for which purpose the co- polymerisation method is very successful. Aquanyl 612 is employed where additional resilience is a specific requirement for the application, for instance in the ball valve industry where the application of valve seat seals benefits greatly...

Nylacast Impact Impact is a grade specifically developed for applications requiring high impact resistance and/or noise reduction capabilities. The important characteristics of these materials are their improved insensitivity against stresses, sharp edges, notches, scratches etc. Impact is ideally suited to applications such as support rollers for the aggregate processing industry, dollies used in conjunction with pile drivers and crane feet pads as well as roller coaster wheels in relation to noise reduction. However there are many industries and applications within industries where this...
