Extruded Polyamide material, commonly called Nylon plastic, is manufactured by Ensinger in standard stock shapes for machining and is extruded in sheet, rod and tube. The most common extruded nylon is a polyamide 66, which offers a balanced combination of performance and cost that provides users with a unique engineering plastic polymer. Nylon was the first engineering resin and is used in a wide field of applications ranging from electronic, marine, and automotive industries, to fibers used to make carpet. Extruded Nylon 66 has outstanding wear resistance and low frictional properties whilst also exhibiting very good temperature, chemical and impact properties.
Other extruded polyamide types are PA 6 and PA 12. These nylon plastic types differ in the properties they represent because of differences in molecular structure. These differences especially affect mechanical properties and moisture absorption of the nylon.
