- Highly Machinable - PA6 Cast Nylon material is highly machinable, its dimensional stability and low internal stress means this material will not warp, expand or shrink during CNC machining. The self-lubricating qualities of the material additionally ensure that no lubrication is required unlike traditional materials such as steel.
- Strong & Durable - PA6 cast Nylon offers grade many improved characteristics over traditional materials & extruded polymers, these include: Good wear & abrasion resistance, Excellent mechanical, thermal & chemical resistant properties, Resistance to creep & heat aging.
