What is Nylon?
Nylon is a synthetic polymer belonging to the family of polyamides. It was first developed in the 1930s and has since become one of the most widely used materials in various industries.
Nylon is made from petrochemical products through a polymerization process and can be reinforced with materials like glass fibers to enhance its properties. It has excellent wear resistance, high tensile strength, and good chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications. In addition, nylon can be easily machined into complex shapes and tight tolerances, making it ideal for CNC machining processes.
