Black Nylon 6 Plastic Sheet 12mm Thick Strong Wear Resistant Grade

Nylon 6 Plastic Sheet Black 12mm Thick for Gears and Bearings

This black Nylon 6 plastic sheet in 12mm thickness is made from cast polyamide 6, a grade that improves on the standard extruded version. Casting gives it higher strength, stiffness and hardness, and it works across an operating temperature of 0°C to +90°C. At 12mm, the sheet is a deep, robust section that can be machined into thick gears, bearing blocks and supports from a single piece. It is also food compliant, so it suits clean production areas as well as heavy industry.

Cast Nylon 6 carries less internal stress than extruded nylon, so finished parts keep their size and shape after cutting. It machines better too, giving neat edges when you saw, drill or mill it. Good creep and wear resistance protect working surfaces through long service, and its behaviour is similar to extruded nylon 6.6.

When a job needs one large component instead of several joined sections, this sheet is available in larger sizes. The black colour suits workshop and plant use, and the blend of high strength and easy fabrication makes it a trusted choice for demanding mechanical parts.
