Nylon 6 Metal Detectable Sheet

1 of 8 products in this brand
PAR Group Nylon 6 Metal Detectable Sheet is a popular engineering plastic due to its ease of machinability. It combines high strength, stiffness and hardness properties with good creep and wear resistance. Our highly visible blue metal detectable Nylon 6 contains very fine material additives making it detectable to most metal detector equipment. It also has lower moisture absorption than standard nylon 6.
