Nylon 6 Plastic Sheet Black 6mm Thick Shock Absorbing Cast Grade

Black Nylon 6 Plastic Sheet 6mm Thick Metal Replacement Material

This black Nylon 6 plastic sheet in 6mm thickness is made from cast polyamide 6, a grade that offers real improvements over the extruded alternative. The casting process delivers higher strength, stiffness and hardness, with a usable temperature range of 0°C to +90°C. At 6mm, the sheet is thick enough to be machined into sturdy parts such as wear plates, guides and supports, which makes it a practical way to replace metal where weight and wear matter. It is food compliant, so it also works in clean production areas.

Cast Nylon 6 carries less internal stress than extruded nylon, so parts hold their size and shape once they have been cut. It machines more easily too, leaving neat edges when you saw, drill or mill it. Good creep and wear resistance keep working surfaces in good condition over long service, and its behaviour is similar to extruded nylon 6.6.

If your job calls for a single large piece rather than several joined sections, this sheet is available in larger sizes. The black colour suits workshop and plant use, and the combination of toughness and easy fabrication gives you a dependable material for demanding mechanical parts.
