Product details and technical data
Product information
Nylatech® Blue Cast Nylon 6 Rod. Heat-stabilized blue cast PA6 for machined wear components.
Select diameter and footage
Sold per linear foot (LFT): quantity 1 = 1' of material. Choose a 3" to 14" diameter. The price is per foot, not per four-foot bar.
For cut lengths, specify each piece’s length and the number of pieces; total footage alone does not define the cuts.
Choosing Nylatech® Blue
Consider Nylatech® Blue where heat stabilization is required. Compare Nylatech® Natural for general service or Nylatech® Super Black for a black, heat- and UV-stabilized grade. Nylatech® Food Grade Blue is a different formulation.
Rod provides a solid starting shape for turned rollers, pins and similar parts. For a large through-bore, compare tube stock to reduce centre material removal.
Other rod grades: Nylatech® Natural · Nylatech® Natural-Oil · Nylatech® MD · Nylatech® Oil-Filled · Nylatech® SL · Nylatech® MD-Oil · Nylatech® PVM · Nylatech® Super Black · Nylatech® Food Grade Blue.
Allow for machining: dimensions are nominal stock sizes, not finished-part tolerances. Nylon absorbs moisture; consider dimensional change, temperature, chemicals and operating loads when specifying close-fitting parts.
