Product details and technical data

Product information

Nylatech® MD Cast Nylon 6 Sheet. Molybdenum-disulfide-modified cast PA6 for machined wear components.

Select thickness and area

Sold per square foot (SFT): quantity 1 = 1 sq ft. Select a 0.25" to 4" thickness. Standard stock is 2' × 4'; one full sheet contains 8 SFT.

For cut pieces, specify length × width and piece count. The SFT quantity alone does not define a cutting layout.

Choosing Nylatech® MD

Consider Nylatech® MD when reviewing unfilled nylon for friction and wear requirements. Compare Nylatech® Natural as the unfilled baseline or Nylatech® MD-Oil when internal oil lubrication is also needed.

Sheet or plate is a starting form for flat wear pads, strips and machined profiles. Plan the part layout and finished thickness before selecting stock.

Other sheet grades: Nylatech® Natural · Nylatech® Natural-Oil · Nylatech® Blue · 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.
