Material Data Sheet
Material: 30% Glass filled Nylon
A crystalline thermoplastic polymer with properties that include outstanding wear and abrasion resistance, high in use service temperature, excellent impact resistance, excellent chemical resistance, low friction and self lubricating. Polyamides are generally easy to machine. Comes in many different grades. 30% Glass Filled provides increase strength and dimensional stability as well as cuts down expansion due to water absorption.
