Nylacast Impact

Nylacast 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 piledrivers and crane feet pads as well as roller coaster wheels in relation to noise reduction. However there are many industries and applications where this type of material would be very beneficial over the basic grade of Natural cast nylon.
