Natural Cast Nylon 6 Sheet 100mm Thick for Large Gears and Bearings

Natural Cast Nylon 6 Sheet 100mm Thick for Large Gears and Bearings

Turn out massive, hard working components from this 100mm thick natural nylon 6 plastic sheet. Produced by casting polyamide 6, it gives you superior strength, stiffness and surface hardness compared with standard extruded nylon. It stays dependable across a temperature range of 0°C to +90°C, and the natural finish is food compliant, which makes it suitable for hygienic processing lines as well as tough engineering environments.

The casting process leaves very little stress locked inside the plastic, so the sheet holds its shape when you make deep cuts or remove a large volume of material. It turns, mills and drills with crisp edges and accurate dimensions, and its performance is close to nylon 6.6. Larger sheet sizes are available for oversized projects. At 100mm, this is the thickest stock in our range, giving you the depth to machine big, chunky parts from one solid piece. It is a smart alternative to metal where you want reduced weight, quiet running and excellent resistance to wear.
