Types of Nylon

Types of Nylon
The most common type of Nylon are Cast Nylon (Type 6) and Extruded Nylon (Type 6,6). The largest applications for Nylon are bearings, cams, valve seats, gears and other bearing and wear applications that require quiet operation, wear resistance and low coefficients of friction. Nylon is typically not preferred for wet applications as it absorbs…
