Nylon is one of the original engineering thermoplastic materials. With an ideal balance of strength and toughness it finds use in a wide variety of industries and applications.
Benefits of Nylon
Easy to machine due to its size options/near-net shapes
Lightweight
Wear resistant
Strength/durability
Highly impact resistant
Chemical resistant
