Nylon – Strength and technical flexibility

Nylon is a technical material with high mechanical strength. Recommended for parts subject to friction or repetitive stress.

Technical properties:

• Tensile strength: ~60–80 MPa

• Young's modulus: ~1.7–2.5 GPa

• Elongation at break: 100–300%

• Density: 1.14 g/cm³

• Heat deflection temperature: ~90–100 °C

• Coefficient of friction: Low

Common applications: Gears, bushings, moving parts.
Advantages: High wear resistance and slight flexibility.
