Nylon/ Cast Nylon has a higher compression strength and impact resistance as compared to other engineering plastics. Some of Nylon’s properties includes:

-Corrosion and wear resistance
-Improved component working life and reducing maintenance
-High toughness
-High mechanical strength
-High fatigue resistance
-Shock absorbant and resistance
-Self lubrication and good noise dampening

POM is a general purpose engineering plastics as it is easily machinable, it is also one of the preferred choices when comes to cost sensitive low frictional application. POM properties includes:

– High strength, stiffness, surface hardness
– Good dimension stability and toughness
– Resistance against fatigue, solvent, fuel, abrasion, wear and friction.

PE (Polyethylene) – Polyethylene is a general thermoplastic with good chemical resistance and elongation properties. PE also have good insulation properties and is one of the material choice for plastic welding application. HDPE and UHMWPE are available for applications with more demanding material properties in terms of mechanical strength. Some of its properties includes:

– Good chemical resistance
– Easy to work on
– Low frictional coefficient
– Good electrical insulation
– High toughness and Stiffness (HDPE/UHMWPE)
– Low moisture absorption (UHMWPE)
– High impact strength (UHMWPE)
