Product details and technical data

Product information

Nylatech® Natural-Oil Cast Nylon 6 Rod. Oil-lubricated cast PA6 for wear parts with food-contact documentation requirements.

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® Natural-Oil

Consider this grade when internal lubrication and food-contact requirements both matter. Compare Nylatech® Natural for unfilled nylon, or Nylatech® Oil-Filled for the separate green oil-lubricated grade.

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® Blue · 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.

Food contact: The manufacturer reports Nylatech® Natural and Nylatech® Natural-Oil meet 21 CFR 177.1500. Confirm the supplied grade’s declaration for your food-contact conditions; this does not certify the finished part.
