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.

Nylacast Polyvinyl Chloride is a well established thermoplastic material. Due to its mechanical and tensile strength it is used in a large range of products and machined applications, whilst also being able to be welded and bonded. It offers excellent corrosion and weather resistance.

Nylacast Peek is a high performance engineering thermoplastic. It is very strong and rigid. The characteristics of PEEK show that it has the highest tensile strength in the plastics family. It can be used on a continuous basis in temperatures of 480°F (250°C) without any loss of its properties.
