Nylacast PA 6 Natural is the basic PA 6 grade 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 applications for which this versatile grade finds a use. By varying the conditions of polymerisation the mechanical properties of cast nylon may be altered to suit specific applications and the performance of the basic polymer can be enhanced with the addition of various additives, fillers, lubricants and colorants (see further grades). Compared with injection molding and extrusion grades of polyamide, cast nylons stand out with their improved mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties.
