Stacked rods and sheets of Cast Nylon PA6C.

Cast Nylon PA6C

TECAST T natural cast nylon offers a combination of good mechanical properties, excellent bearing and wear characteristics, and the large size capabilities of the casting process. The cast polyamide's fatigue resistance, noise damping ability, corrosion resistance, and light weight make TECAST ideal for metal replacement applications, such as bearings, gears, sheaves, and sprockets.

Features

Versatile

TECAST T natural cast nylon offers a combination of good mechanical properties, plus excellent bearing and wear characteristics. The cast polyamide’s fatigue resistance, noise damping ability, corrosion resistance, and light weight makes it quite versatile.

Size

Due to the casting process TECAST T nylon is available in a wide range of sizes in rod, tube and sheet. It can even be cast into semi-finished parts.

Applications

TECAST T cast nylon is ideal for metal replacement applications such as bearings, gears, sheaves, and sprockets. At one-eighth the weight of bronze, TECAST is easier to handle and maintain than most metals, which it typically replaces in industrial wear applications.
