Nylon shows both a high thermostability (temperature resistant from -40 C to approx. +100 C) and high stiffness, hardness and toughness. These are some of the main characteristics. Due to the fact, that the good mechanical characteristics will be achieved only after conditioning, this material must be conditioned again after annealing. In addition, this conditioning occurs with a longer storage in air automatically. Properties: high strength and stiffnesshigh impact and notching impact strengthhigh heat deflection temperaturegood at dampeninggood glide and damping abilitygood chemical stability against organic solvents and fuelssize alteration by humidity absorption must be considereddimension stability, electrical and mechanical properties may become affected by absorbing moisture or waterApplications: Bearing parts (good sliding properties), gear wheels, pump parts, sliding rails, castors (reduction of the noise level), fittings.
