One of the reasons many cast nylon products are so flexible in their usage is that they are UV resistant, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. The durability and natural lubrication has made cast nylon ideal for replacing rubber and metal parts that wear out quickly like bearings, sprockets, wheels and chain guides,…

Decades ago, it would have been surprising to see a plastic chain guide in any industry, let alone in a heavy duty conveyor environment; but now it seems that those dealing with chain-driven equipment have embraced the benefits. Plastic chain guides are known for their ability to reduce friction, dampen noise, soften vibration and even…

Nylatech IRG retains the basic physical properties of nylon 6, but has increased impact resistance. Some of the most common applications are, Pile driving pads Vibration dampeners Mechanical stop applications High impact applications Since traditional cast nylon 6 materials are semi-crystalline, they are susceptible to cracking and breaking when subjected to high impact loads especially…

Friction is a liability in a sawmill. Not only can it cause excess wear and tear on equipment leading to increased down time, but it can also lead to sparks and breakage, which in a mill, can be deadly. While most mills have converted to lower friction chain beds like those made of urethane,…

Cast Nylon Delivers in Energy and Alternative Energy Applications

To some, alternative energy refers to energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. This can include bio diesel, nuclear power and hydroelectric dams. To others, alternative energy is known for sources of power that do not deplete our natural resources or harm the environment. Such sources…

Despite the images the term agriculture conjures up for others, those in and related to the industry know it is far more fast-paced and involves a great deal more mechanical aspects than the commonly idealized scene of a cow lazily standing in a field. Farmers and growers work hard and need their equipment to stand…

Industrial dryers have one thing in common with fast moving manufacturing lines, overs and kilns. Heat. Lots of it. And when heat meets regular wear and tear, problems are the result. That's why we created Nylatech BLUE. This heat-stabilized grade of cast nylon was developed to take the heat of bushings, rollers, wear pads and…

Few things have the chemical toxic load of wastewater. It isn't just the areas the waste is "supposed" to go that are affected by the chemical interactions - it's also all those places where the waste seeps, creeps and splashes. It's mandatory to ensure all aspects of a facility can handle heavy duty flow as…
