Nylon Materials
At Petron Thermoplast, we supply high-quality nylon materials, including nylon sheets, rods, and precision-machined parts engineered for demanding industrial applications.
Nylon is one of the most popular engineering thermoplastics, known for its excellent wear resistance, high tensile strength, and superior mechanical properties. It is widely used in industries like automotive, food processing, packaging, mechanical engineering, and marine applications.
Our nylon products are available in different grades such as Nylon 6, Nylon 66, and cast nylon, tailored to meet specific operational requirements.
More About
Nylon (Polyamide / PA) is a versatile engineering plastic valued for its toughness, self-lubricating properties, and ability to withstand high loads and friction.
It is commonly used to replace metals in wear-intensive components like gears, bushings, bearings, and rollers, offering a lightweight and corrosion-resistant alternative without compromising strength.
Range Of Products
Nylon 6 (PA6)
Excellent impact resistance, toughness, and machinability.
Nylon 66 (PA66)
Higher strength and temperature resistance compared to Nylon 6.
Cast Nylon
Superior dimensional stability and reduced internal stresses for large components.
Food-Grade Nylon
FDA-approved for food handling and beverage machinery.
Glass-Filled Nylon
Enhanced strength and rigidity for heavy-duty applications.
