Cast Nylons

New Technology Plastics distributes a wide variety of Cast Nylon products in sheet, rod, and tube. Cast nylon polyamides, commonly called nylon type 6, or PA6 C. Cast nylon polyamides are highly molecular, highly crystalline polymers. Semi-finished nylon type 6 shapes are manufactured using a casting method, whereby the raw material caprolactam polymerases by means of a controlled chemical reaction.

By using additives such as oil, solid lubricants or thermal stabilizers, the typical characteristics of type 6 nylon can be selectively adjusted for certain applications, opening a custom-tailored range of materials to cover a wide application spectrum. Cast Nylon demonstrates even higher crystallinity and better machinability than extruded nylon.
