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® Food Grade Blue
Choose Nylatech® Food Grade Blue for Natural-grade properties in blue. Compare Nylatech® Natural without the blue colour or Nylatech® Natural-Oil for internal lubrication. Nylatech® Blue colour does not make this grade metal- or X-ray-detectable.
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® MD · Nylatech® Oil-Filled · Nylatech® SL · Nylatech® MD-Oil · Nylatech® PVM · Nylatech® Super Black.
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: Nylatech® Food Grade Blue uses the food-grade Nylatech® Natural formulation. 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.
