Nylon 6 is a tough, rigid engineering thermoplastic with excellent bearing and wear characteristics. It's widely used to replace metal bearings and bushings, and it's a high-performing alternative to metal parts and assemblies because it doesn't require external lubrication. Nylon 6 also has strong chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, mechanical stability, and impact resistance, as well as being easy to machine and fabricate. Automotive components, manifolds, business machines, nozzles, sprockets, and industrial equipment are all made of nylon 6.
